The new book
Brazil, 1985. The end of the military regime, Rock in Rio put Brazil on the global map of pop music, Tancredo Neves was elected president, Ayrton Senna won his first F1 Grand Prix, and Bizz magazine was released. While Brazilian rock music gained unprecedented notoriety in the country, musical revolutions didn’t stop happening in the underground. It is here that the third volume of Lindo Sonho Delirante begins.
From the second half of the 1980s onwards, after a period of political liberalization and cultural submission to the First World, Brazilian music started being rediscovered and revalorized by the youth. Preconceived notions started crumbling. Musicians went back to experimenting, mixing influences from abroad with our Brazilian roots. Anthropophagic revolutions started happening again. There was a recapture, a revaluation of forgotten records by Brazilian artists. Musicians, DJs, producers and collectors from around the world started exploring Brazilian music beyond bossa nova.
The goal of Lindo Sonho Delirante vol. 3: 100 fearless records from Brazil (1986-2000) is to show that Brazil produced transgressive musical works, many of which, unfortunately, continue to be neglected by a large audience. The digging of the works contained in this third volume begins in 1986. We set out on a journey that ends in the year 2000.
More than 60 interviews were made for this project so this new book bring many exclusive reports, accounts and recollections from Akira S, Alex Antunes, Andrea Daltro, Edson Natale, Fabio Golfetti, Frank Jorge, Jarbas Mariz, João Parahyba, John Ulhoa, José Augusto Lemos, Kassin, Marcos Suzano, Maria Rita Stumpf, Maurício Pereira, Miguel Barella, Paulo Barnabé, Pena Schmidt, Pedro Sá, Priscila Ermell, R.H. Jackson, Sandra Coutinho, Tetê Espíndola, Thomas Pappon, and Vitor Ramil, among others.

What is the Lindo Sonho Delirante project?
Lindo Sonho Delirante is a series of books that tell, through reviews of records, the trajectory of the fearless, cutting-edge, experimental and psychedelic music produced in Brazil. The goal of the series is to present an alternative history of Brazilian music and share records beyond the obvious, getting away from the interest of the industry and the algorithms of the digital platforms.
For a long time, what was heard and studied about Brazilian music around the world was the bossa nova and the big names of MPB. From the ‘90s onwards, there was a surge in interest on other scenes, such as Tropicália, Manguebeat, Vanguarda Paulistana, and the psychedelia from Pernambuco, among many others. The main goal of the Lindo Sonho Delirante project is to present these several musical facets of Brazil to the world, since the books are published in Portuguese and English.
The two previous volumes
In 2016, we released, together, the first volume of the series: Lindo Sonho Delirante: 100 psychedelic records from Brazil (1968-1975). In 2018, it was time for the second volume, Lindo Sonho Delirante vol. 2: 100 daring records from Brazil (1976-1985). The results were incredible and these campaigns turned into some of the biggest crowdfundings for musical books in Brazil. More than 1,000 people believed in the project and helped realize the dream of showing the richness of our music to the world. With support from each one of you and the people who purchased the books after the campaigns, we were able to carry on with the project. Today there are more than 5,000 books spread over more than 40 countries. Lindo Sonho Delirante is more than a book series. It is a project that involves lectures, workshops, concerts, trips around the world, record reissues and discussion panels about a very important facet of Brazilian music that is unfortunately not properly celebrated. The project has already promoted book launching events and lectures in England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the United States. In Brazil, events and lectures have taken place in Fortaleza, João Pessoa, Curitiba, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Recife.
About the author
Bento Araujo is a journalist, researcher and record collector. He started out playing in bands and working in record stores. In 2003, he created poeira Zine, an independent publication that introduced a considerable amount of information on artists from around the world who had never captured the attention of mainstream media. After 13 years of intense activity and 69 issues published, poeira Zine’s impact paved the way for a weekly podcast: poeiraCast. The author has also had his articles, essays and interviews published in the two biggest Brazilian newspapers, O Estado de São Paulo and Folha de São Paulo, as well as in music magazines such as Bizz, Rolling Stone, Rock Brigade and Roadie Crew. As a presenter, he worked with Gastão Moreira and Edgard Piccoli on the Heavy Lero show. As a lecturer, mediator and curator he takes part in many musical events throughout Brazil and South America. As a reporter, he has covered festivals, shows and musical events in the U.S., Europe, and several Latin American countries. In 2016 he released his first book, Lindo Sonho Delirante: 100 psychedelic records from Brazil (1968-1975) , published in Portuguese and English, and sold in more than 40 countries.
A celebration of the inventive and mind-expanding music produced in Brazil. The book aims to show the world that Brazil also had many intriguing psychedelic rock artists and records.
SOLD OUT
Lindo Sonho Delirante: 100 psychedelic records from Brazil (1968-1975) is fully illustrated with cover art reproductions of all the 100 records presented. Each album and single entry is accompanied by a review in Portuguese and English, meticulous reproduction of the original sleeve artwork, a headline containing the group/artist name, album/single title, it’s respective record label, release date and original pressing serial number.
Considering the manifesto-album Tropicalia ou Panis et Circencis as a sort of ground zero of Brazilian psychedelic music, our digging begins in 1968. From Tropicalia ou Panis et Circencis we set off on a journey of eight years, ending at what is maybe the rarest and most mythological Brazilian psychedelic album of all, 1975’s Paêbirú: Caminho da Montanha do Sol, by Lula Côrtes and Zé Ramalho.
From pioneers such as Arnaldo Baptista, Rogério Duprat, Tom Zé, Fábio and Ronnie Von, to pop stars like Rita Lee, Milton Nascimento, Secos & Molhados and Novos Baianos. From giants like Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Jorge Ben and Os Mutantes to unsung heroes and heroines like Damião Experiença, Lula Côrtes, Sidney Miller, Suely e Os Kantikus, Marconi Notaro, Guilherme Lamounier, Walter Franco and Loyce e Os Gnomos. From the wild rock of A Bolha, Equipe Mercado, Ave Sangria, Casa das Máquinas, Spectrum and Paulo Bagunça e a Tropa Maldita, to the sophistication of Marcos Valle, João Donato, Egberto Gismonti, Luiz Carlos Vinhas, Pedro Santos and Arthur Verocai. All of them are gathered in Lindo Sonho Delirante. The superstars, the mavericks and the forgotten.
In addition to the one hundred (100) reviews, the book also contains an introduction in which the author analyzes how these musicians mixed the Anglo-Saxon pop music of the 1960s with their own Brazilian roots, taking cues from the Anthropophagics of 1922’s Modern Art Week, as well as local cultural icons such as Chacrinha and Grande Otelo.
The depth of the research and the artistic beauty of the album covers should attract both longtime collectors and those who are now entering the world of record collecting.

Praise for Lindo Sonho Delirante: 100 psychedelic records from Brazil (1968-1975):
“Penned by the editor of the country’s leading vinyl collectables magazine, this new book shines a light on 100 records that tell the story of Brazilian psych’s tumultuous first eight years. Beyond these little-known stories, perhaps the most important function of the book is as the gateway to the music itself; a listen to almost any of the iridescent singles, EPs and albums covered reveal them to be more than worthy of Araujo’s evangelism.”
Record Collector
“The cover shots of the 100 records chosen to represent this radical strain of self-expression would be worth the price of entrance alone. Add to that the detailed descriptions, the introductory essays and the general care for quality that’s gone into this labour of love and you have an utterly essential purchase. A lavish, jaw-droppingly beautiful book.”
Shindig!
“A lovely project cataloguing the artwork and history behind 100 classic and super rare Brazilian psych records from the country’s recording golden age. Expect to find Tropicalia favourites from Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa and more alongside recently reissued rarities from Lula Cortes, Hareton + Meta and Pedro Santos – all accompanied by bi-lingual Portuguese/English commentaries and 7″-sized full-colour reproductions.”
Vinyl Factory (LSD chosen as one of the 10 best music books of 2017)
“The book proceeds chronologically, with detailed entries on records (in Portuguese and English) describing everything from pop heroes to tropicalia pioneers to wild takes on progressive rock, and the cultural and political climate that produced them.”
Wire
“Printed in both Portuguese and English, this is the perfect gift for the well-travelled psych fan whose knowledge of the Tropicalia movement and beyond starts and stops with Os Mutantes, Brazil’s answer to late-period Beatles. It’s fascinating stuff.”
Classic Rock
“Araujo’s writing is clear and incisive, relating biographical information, historical context, cultural significance, and a brief description of the musical highlights of each record. ‘Brazil is a psychedelic country by nature,’ asserts the author. The 100 records covered in this book bear out that assertion in 100 different ways. An entire world is opened up for you in its pages. Go explore it.”

Lindo Sonho Delirante vol.1: 100 discos psicodélicos do Brasil (1968-1975), livro de Bento Araujo. ESGOTADO!
Lindo Sonho Delirante vol.1: 100 discos psicodélicos do Brasil (1968-1975) é ricamente ilustrado, com reproduções das capas de todos os cem (100) discos apresentados. Cada álbum e compacto é acompanhado de uma resenha em português e inglês, minuciosa reprodução da arte gráfica original, um cabeçalho contendo o nome do grupo/artista, nome do disco/compacto, seu respectivo selo fonográfico, número de série da prensagem original e data de lançamento.
Considerando o disco-manifesto Tropicalia ou Panis et Circencis como uma espécie de marco zero da psicodelia nacional, a garimpagem das obras contidas no livro começa em 1968. De Tropicalia ou Panis et Circencis partimos rumo a uma jornada de oito anos, que termina no talvez mais raro e mitológico disco psicodélico brasileiro de todos, Paêbirú: Caminho da Montanha do Sol, lançado por Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho, em 1975.
De pioneiros como Arnaldo Baptista, Rogério Duprat, Tom Zé, Fábio e Ronnie Von, até astros como Rita Lee, Milton Nascimento, Secos & Molhados e Novos Baianos. De gigantes como Gil, Caetano, Gal, Jorge Ben e Os Mutantes, até heróis e heroínas não tão celebrados, como Damião Experiença, Lula Côrtes, Sidney Miller, Suely e Os Kantikus, Marconi Notaro, Guilherme Lamounier e Loyce e os Gnomos. Do rock marginal da Equipe Mercado, Ave Sangria, A Bolha, Casa das Máquinas, Spectrum e Paulo Bagunça e a Tropa Maldita, até a sofisticação de Marcos Valle, João Donato, Egberto Gismonti, Luiz Carlos Vinhas, Pedro Santos e Arthur Verocai. Todos estão juntos nesse Lindo Sonho Delirante, os superstars e os esquecidos, os raros compactos e os elepês.
Além das cem (100) resenhas, o livro contém uma introdução, onde uma particular visão do período é abordada, analisando a influência da música pop anglo-saxônica misturada à exaltação das raízes brasileiras por parte dos artistas locais, tomando como ponto de partida a Semana de Arte Moderna de 1922 e ícones da cultura nacional, como Chacrinha e Grande Otelo.
A análise da criação e a interpretação do simbolismo desta lisergia tropical cria uma iconografia inédita, um volume que funciona como um presente à memória da música nacional e àqueles artistas brasileiros que expandiram a mente em nome da arte, em plena era de sangrenta repressão militar e de extremo preconceito social.

Comentários sobre o livro na imprensa
“Durante dois anos, o jornalista, pesquisador e colecionador Bento Araujo resolveu se embrenhar pelo mundo da psicodelia brasileira. Além das críticas dos 100 discos, o livro traz muitas histórias que ajudam a entender um dos períodos mais inventivos da produção musical brasileira, que chega à mente manifesta não só através dos alucinógenos mas também do transe antropofágico representado pelo tropicalismo. É um mapa super interessante da música mais criativa produzida no país durante dos anos de chumbo da ditadura. Um lindo mapa do Brasil psicodélico.”
Bravo
“Para compor Lindo Sonho Delirante, Bento Araujo, o paulistano da Pompeia – bairro de origem da banda Os Mutantes – valeu-se de rigorosos critérios de seleção, de forma que fosse possível compilar pontualmente toda a magnitude e relevância do movimento sem correr o risco de que trabalhos substanciais fossem excluídos da obra.”
Rolling Stone
“O jornalista, pesquisador e colecionador de LPs, Bento Araujo, olho sempre vivo nos porões do rock brasileiro, está lançando Lindo Sonho Delirante. No livro, cada álbum ganha uma página para as considerações do autor, que aparecem também traduzidas para o inglês. Há desde discos que o tempo tornaria obrigatórios, até álbuns, sobretudo fora da Tropicália, que seguiriam nas sombras.”
Estadão
“Lindo Sonho Delirante, livro do jornalista Bento Araujo, promove uma viagem cronológica às experimentações estéticas da música brasileira dos anos 1960 e 70. O livro desmonta, por meio da análise de cem álbuns e compactos, o equívoco de afirmar que, exceto as produções das grandes estrelas da MPB e do samba, os anos 1970 foram uma década perdida para a música produzida no País. Se a viagem empreendida por nossa música é bem maior do que muitos imaginam, o flashback promovido nas páginas de Lindo Sonho Delirante é mais que bem-vindo. Lisergia sem bad trip. Bate legal.”
Brasileiros
“Um dos episódios de maior criatividade — e também um dos mais negligenciados — da história da MPB volta à tona no livro Lindo Sonho Delirante: 100 Discos Psicodélicos do Brasil 1968-1975, do jornalista e pesquisador Bento Araujo. Com textos em português e inglês, a obra traz resenhas dos 100 discos.”
O Globo
“Lançado pelo jornalista Bento Araujo, o livro Lindo Sonho Delirante joga luz à existência de uma cena psicodélica (e criativa) na história da música brasileira. A coleção de um Brasil alucinado.”
Diário do Nordeste
“O jornalista Bento Araujo lança seu primeiro livro, Lindo Sonho Delirante: 100 discos psicodélicos do Brasil. Na obra, o autor analisa e contextualiza dentro da perspectiva da psicodelia 100 discos e compactos lançados entre os anos de 1968 e 1975 no Brasil. Em sua seleção, Bento Araujo começa pelo tropicalistas com o disco-manifesto Tropicália ou Panis et Circensis (1968) e segue até o álbum Paêbirú, álbum icônico e raro de 1975 lançado pelos músicos Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho. Com textos em português e inglês, o livro apresenta uma miscelânea entre discos conhecidos, totalmente desconhecidos, raros e cultuados entre colecionadores de discos.”
Itaú Cultural
“Lindo Sonho Delirante faz um recorte daqueles que teriam sido os principais lançamentos do subgênero doidão do rock no Brasil. O livro vai além de matar uma eventual curiosidade, pois Araujo resgata nomes importantíssimos do período.”
Zero Hora
“Trata-se de uma obra que já nasce essencial para fãs de música hoje em dia. Lindo Sonho Delirante vai da psicodelia protocolar, digamos assim (Tropicália, Mutantes), até a obscuridade, em um exaustivo trabalho de curadoria.”
O Tempo
“Lindo Sonho Delirante, livro do jornalista Bento Araujo, conta a história da música experimental produzida no Brasil até 1975 e reúne 100 discos clássicos do gênero”.

The Project
Lindo Sonho Delirante: 100 psychedelic records from Brazil (1968-1975) is a celebration of the inventive and mind-expanding music produced in Brazil. The book aims to show the world that Brazil also had many intriguing psychedelic rock artists and records. Brazilian psychedelic music has recently been rediscovered but many people still do not know about its origins. Never, anywhere in the world, has any publisher or publishing company been interested in releasing a book about the Brazilian psychedelic scene, so this is our chance to do so and in a totally independent manner. Let’s get together not only to keep the Brazilian psychedelic music history alive, but also to finally show it to the world, since our aim is to publish this book in Portuguese and English.
To prepare the book I spent over a year listening, analyzing, compiling, contextualizing and reviewing those which I consider the ultimate one hundred (100) psychedelic albums and singles that forever changed the music made in Brazil and South America. During this period I also researched old books, newspapers and magazines to dig up stories, trivia and information about one of the most amazing and inspired, but still absurdly neglected, eras of Brazilian music.
The analysis and interpretation of the symbolism of this tropical psychedelia creates a unique iconographic volume that works as a gift to the memory of our music and of those Brazilian artists who expanded their minds in the name of art, in an era of bloody military repression and extreme social havoc. My goal is that the book becomes a reference not only for researchers and record collectors but also that it can fill a number of information gaps about the careers of bands and artists during a time plagued by the silence caused by the government’s censorship, not to mention the imprisonments and forced exiles.
All these bands and artists have been brought together in Lindo Sonho Delirante, the Brazilian music giants that at some point flirted with psychedelic rock, and also the lost and forgotten ones, many of them having their first chance of being properly introduced to the world.
