Secos & Molhados (album)

Secos & Molhados, also known as Secos & Molhados I, is the debut album of the group of the same name, released in August 1973.[1] The album includes poetry works of authors such as Vinícius de Moraes, Manuel Bandeira and João Apolinário, and dances and songs from Portuguese folklore and Brazilian traditions. It features the most famous songs of the trio, such as "Sangue Latino", "O Vira", "Assim Assado" and "Rosa de Hiroshima". The album, as well as the band itself, emerged in the midst of a time of censorship and military dictatorship in Brazil, inspiring the band to portray themes such as freedom of expression, racism and war as a form of protest.[2] It is the most famous LP of the Secos & Molhados group, selling more than 1 million copies throughout the country.[3]
