Thursday, March 14th, 2013 Nightlife Guide
Thursday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – Barão Vermelho is on stage at Circo Voador in the heart of Lapa. This classic Brazilian band returns to celebrate thirty years of success and rock ‘n roll. Considered one of the most influential bands of the 1980’s generation, Barão Vermelho began as garage band, founded by members Maurício Carvalho de Barros and Flávio Augusto Goffi Marquesini, who enjoyed playing cover hits from the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.
Later, the band was joined by guitarist Roberto Frejat and bassist André Palmeira Cunha. The group was complete when Agenor Miranda Araújo Neto, more commonly known as Cazuza, joined the band, opening up doorways that led to a successful career and nationwide recognition.
