{"id":683,"count":10,"description":"Secos &amp; Molhados is an innovative Brazilian band formed in 1971 and best known for their first two studio albums that helped launch singer Ney Matogrosso's career. The other two members were Jo\u00e3o Ricardo, founder and main songwriter of the group, and Gerson Conrad.\r\n\r\nThe first line-up, consisting of Jo\u00e3o Ricardo, G\u00e9rson Conrad and Ney Matogrosso, plus various musicians as John Flavin (guitar), Willy Verdaguer (electric guitar), Marcelo Frias (drums), Sergio Rosadas (flute), plus a special participation of Z\u00e9 Rodrix was short-lived - only two albums were released, one in 1973 and one in 1974, both self-titled. This line-up achieved success, appearing in several television broadcasts and remains highly influential today. Matogrosso's unusual high-pitched voice helped create a distinct identity as well as the band's eccentric heavy make-up and outfits (developed by Matogrosso himself, with influences ranging from Brazilian indigenous peoples to kabuki theater). In typical Tropic\u00e1lia fashion, Secos &amp; Molhados's style was one marked by a broad fusion of genres, including glam rock, MPB, fado and experimental music, among others. Most lyrics for both studio albums were adapted from the work of poets such as Manuel Bandeira and Vinicius de Moraes. In reference to their MPB musical style, \u201cAnother group that expressed its disagreement via the physicality of its performance style\u2014and, inevitably, via rock music, was the Secos &amp; Molhados. Mixing progressive rock and blues, incorporating Luso-Brazilian folk references (in \u201cO vira\u201d \u2013 [name of a Portuguese dance]) and by the constant inclusion of poetry\u2014by names like Vinicius de Moraes, Manuel Bandeira and Fernando Pessoa, among others\u2014the trio enjoyed a meteoric career, with two albums released between 1971 and 1974, and an enormous popular success driven by the visual appeal of their makeup and the sexually ambiguous theatricality of vocalist Ney Matogrosso. The Secos &amp; Molhados appear at Maracan\u00e3 stadium in 1974 Ronald Fonseca\/ Ag\u00eancia O Globo. The black-and-white makeup that marked the signature look of the group was chosen almost by chance. Prior to the success of the Secos &amp; Molhados, Ney Matogrosso had been an actor and, in a show by the group at the Casa da Badala\u00e7\u00e3o e T\u00e9dio, a club next to the Ruth Escobar Theatre, he arrived late, having come straight from a children's play in which he had been acting. In his haste, he took the stage still in full makeup. Jo\u00e3o Ricardo, founder and lead composer of the band, and bandmate G\u00e9rson Conrad were excited by the audience reaction and decided to adopt that style. That artifice was amplified by Matogrosso's stage and television performances themselves. Early in the 1970s, he had demanded a newly hegemonic role. In the article Corpo e performance no experimentalismo do grupo Secos &amp; Molhados (Body and performance in the experimentalism of the group the Secos &amp; Molhados), Vargas describes the singer's posture with precision: \u201cHis figure is arrogant (bulging bare chest, head held high), even with bare feet. His eyes are wide open, the shrill voice is remarkable, the exaggerated movements of his mouth emphasize the pronunciation of the words, hip movements insinuate other codes, feathers, beads and sequins jangle with his body, a series of dance movements or completely free movements on the stage become codes for freedom. These weren\u2019t rehearsed moves, that always stayed the same.\u201d Instead of driving away the public in a country that was still conservative, the effect was the opposite: sold-out shows all over Brazil, a tour in Mexico, hundreds of thousands of albums sold. \u201cThe two LPs by the Secos &amp; Molhados were perhaps the biggest phenomenon experienced by the Brazilian recording industry in that period,\u201d Zan observes. \u201cI think the experience of that group set new standards for the staging of songs at a time when television was coming into its own as the principal medium of mass communication in this country. At the same time, the performances anticipated the invention of the video clip, a new component of the language of popular music.\u201d\r\n\r\nFrom 1974 onwards, the group remained active, with only Jo\u00e3o Ricardo as the only steady member. They have released several albums through the years. Their most recent release is an autobiographic album called \"Chato-boy\", featuring founding member Jo\u00e3o Ricardo with the addition of a new member - guitarist Daniel Iasbeck.","link":"https:\/\/www.rockdownload.org\/en\/download\/secos-e-molhados","name":"Secos &amp; Molhados","slug":"secos-e-molhados","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Secos &amp; Molhados Discography Download - Rock Download (EN)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Secos &amp; Molhados discography download.
