Carlinhos Brown celebrate yours birthday in 60 years this Wednesday 23rd. Remember below some of the extraordinary events along your path in the music world.
Career start
Already composing songs and taking part in several projects in the 80s, his great success came when he joined the Timbalada project, which valued the percussion and rhythms of Afro-Brazilian culture.
One of his best known compositions of the time is Mineral Water. In another hit of the group, Beija-Flor, he acted as a producer.
In 1996 he released his first solo album, alphabetical🇧🇷 His most remembered hit from that era is probably The Girlfriend.
Bottles at Rock In Rio 2001
In the year that marked the festival’s comeback, Carlinhos Brown was subject to a ‘rain’ of bottles and other objects thrown by the public.
“I’m from peace! I only play love! I don’t play anything to anyone, I only play love! They want to rock! So let’s put on an improv here…”, he vented, before humming the national anthem in the ‘version there there’, holding a guitar. “You can play what you want, I’m for peace and nothing hits me! I’m for peace!”
Rebelled, he concluded: “You who love rock, you have a lot to learn in life. Learn to respect human beings, to say no to violence and yes to love. Believe in life, people! Now you can stick your little finger in your ass. ” .
In an interview with Panic🇧🇷 in February 2020, the singer recalled the case: “” In the case of Rock In Rio it was necessary, because I provoked that too. I am a provocateur. I needed to provoke him.” “Rock is attitude. I was at Rock In Rio, I was in the right place. What did the rockers do? They made me known all over the world.”

Anyone who lived in Brazil in the early 2000s will surely remember hearing songs like I already know how to date And Old childhood on the radios. It was about the tribaliststrio formed by Carlinhos Brown together with Marisa Monte and Arnaldo Antunes, who made a name for themselves.
