Book, Raul Seixas: don't say the song is lost[LS]

The trajectory of one of the most iconic names in Brazilian music. How did Raulzito, the middle-class boy from Salvador who was a fan of Elvis Presley, turn into Raul Seixas, one of the biggest icons of Brazilian pop culture? How did the young dreamer, after “starving for two years in the wonderful city”, win over record companies and the general public? And how did the creator of “Maluco Beleza” and “Sociedade Alternativa”, responsible for verses that are confused with the counterculture of the 1970s, be defeated by drugs and alcoholism in the following decade, but without failing to produce unforgettable hits? Jotabê Medeiros, author of Just a Latin American Boy, a celebrated biography of Belchior, and a music critic with extensive experience, answers these questions and presents, in this dizzying book, the first biography of Raul to match his importance.
