Brazilian rock, also known as "rock brasileiro," emerged in the 1980s as a fusion of international rock influences with traditional Brazilian music styles. Characterized by infectious rhythms, driving guitar riffs, and energetic vocal performances, Brazilian rock often incorporates elements of samba, forró, and tropicalia. The genre gained widespread popularity in the late 1980s and 1990s, with its peak era marked by the success of bands that blended rock with local flavors, creating a unique sound that resonated with Brazilian youth. Culturally significant, Brazilian rock played a key role in shaping the country's musical identity, providing a platform for social commentary, and influencing subsequent genres like MPB (Brazilian popular music). Distinct from similar styles like Latin rock, Brazilian rock is set apart by its Afro-Brazilian percussion, folk-inspired melodies, and often, socially conscious lyrics, making it a vibrant expression of Brazilian music and culture.
