Guitar Days - An Unlikely Story of Brazilian Music

In the late 80's, at the same time the world was witnessing the fall of the Berlin Wall, down south, Brazil was getting back its democracy. Major changes were coming not only to the country's political life, but also to its untouchable cultural heritage, the Brazilian music. A new generation of artists decided to defy the status quo and immerse in a new not-so-Brazilian genre, transforming permanently the Brazilian musical scenario with their noisy guitars, lyrics in English and vigorous performances. Singing in Portuguese was not an option anymore, even if that meant being disowned by the mainstream media for good.
