  • Brazilian rock refers to rock music produced in Brazil and usually sung in Portuguese. Rock entered the Brazilian scene in 1956, with the screening of the film The Blackboard Jungle, featuring Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock", which would later be covered by the singer Nora Ney and have a Portuguese version. In 1957 Miguel Gustavo wrote the first original rock 'n' roll song "Rock and roll em Copacabana", recorded by Cauby Peixoto. Other rock artists of the 1950s were Celly Campelo and Sergio Murilo, singing covers and versions from the United States and Italy. The electric guitar already was used in Brazil in 1948, in Bahia State, Salvador city, by Dodô e Osmar: they invented the famous "pau elétrico" - portuguese for "electric stick" - the first electric guitar without microphonic feedback, with its typical acute color characteristic and sustained sound, no more similar to the previous jazzistic electric guitar models (then they developed another with two arms) and in 1949 they played carnival songs with this guitar at the first time in an open car named then "Trio Elétrico" on the Salvador streets (today in the big trucks with a very robust sound). Throughout the 1960s rock music was marginalized as crude and imperialistic. This stance led several MPB artists to participate in a protest that would later be called the passeata contra a guitarra elétrica ("demonstration against the electric guitar"). Thanks to the combined influence of Tropicália, The Beatles and the increasing acceptance of electric guitars, this position diminished to the point that Clube da Esquina could produce Beatles-influenced songs and still be regarded as "serious music". During the 1980s, a new generation of rockers influenced by punk, post-punk and new wave, positioning themselves against MPB (much as punk did against progressive rock) achieved mainstream success, even producing the best selling album in Brazilian history: Rádio Pirata ao vivo by RPM sold about 2,200,000 copies. The initial antagonism turned to cross-pollination when MPB musicians recorded songs by the new bands, while the latter experimented with fusions between Rock, Forró, Samba, Reggae and Bossa nova. Actually the most popular artists from the early times are Roberto Carlos and Raul Seixas.
  • El rock brasileño o BRock (conocido en Brasil como rock nacional) es un estilo musical derivado del rock, que tuvo sus primeros inicios en los años 50 y 60, pero recién comenzó a tomar fuerza en los años 80.
  • Le rock entre au Brésil en 1956 avec la parution d’une version portugaise du rock around the clock de Bill Haley. Au Brésil, de nombreux groupes jouent encore des chansons avec les paroles anglaises traduites, bien que certains évitent le problème en jouant du rock instrumental. Inspirés par des groupes instrumentaux comme Duane Eddy et The Champs, the Blue Jean Rockers sortent en 1958 la première chanson de rock instrumental brésilienne Here's the Blue Jean Rockers. Bolão & His Rockettes sortent l’année d’après le premier LP instrumental. Le rock devient alors dans la jeunesse brésilienne le style le plus populaire. De nombreux groupent se créent alors comme The Avalons, The Clevers, The Rebels, The Jordans, The Jet Blacks, The Pops, Os Populares, The Bells, The Lions and The Youngs Durant les années 1990, on assiste au retour du rock instrumental et certains des groupes classiques se reforment. Le surf rock devient aussi populaire grâce notamment à The Argonauts et Os Ostras. Autres groupes célèbres: CSS, Os Paralamas do Sucesso, Soulfly, Sepultura, Vinicius Cantuaria, Angra, Dr. Sin, Legião Urbana, Shaaman, Apocalypse, Sagrado Coração da Terra, O Terço, Mutantes, 14 Bis, RPM.
