Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Brazil's military dictatorship (1964-1985) actively censored rock music as 'subversive,' making underground venues like those shown genuine sites of political resistance.

Trivia

Most of the Brazilian rock tracks featured were banned from radio at the time, requiring special licensing from artists who were once surveillance targets.
