Erasmo Carlos - Carlos, Erasmo

Carlos, Erasmo (1971) is a landmark album by Brazilian singer-songwriter Erasmo Carlos. Moving away from his early Jovem Guarda style, the album blends rock, soul, funk, and MPB, influenced by the tropicalia movement. The lyrics explore love, freedom, and social issues, with a raw and experimental sound.

Notable tracks include "Gente Aberta", "É Preciso Dar Um Jeito, Meu Amigo", and "Masculino, Feminino". Though initially overlooked, Carlos, Erasmo is now considered a classic, influencing generations of Brazilian rock and MPB artists.
