Brazuca Sounds #61: The Psychedelic Mind of Arnaud Rodrigues

In episode #61 we talk about singer, songwriter, guitarist, actor, and comedy writer Arnaud Rodrigues. One of the most underrated Brazilian musicians from the 1970s, Arnaud has released, at least, three classics under his belt:

"Murituri" (1974) released under his name; "Baiano & os Novos Caetanos" (1974), as a duo with comedian wizard Chico Anysio; and "Som do Paulinho" (1976) released under Arnaud's alias as Paulinho Cabeça de Profeta, a music caleidoscope combining Rock, Latin, Funk, Folk, Country and his regional influences from the Northeast, such as Baião e Forró. 

A comedy writer for the megapopular sketch-TV show "Chico City", Arnaud was perceived by the public mostly as an actor/comedian, which perhaps explains the lack of exposure his music deserved. However, that he was a part-time musician makes him more interesting not less.
