Rodovia para o inferno
THE STORY BEHIND THIS CROSS
Released in 1979 by Australian legends AC/DC, “Highway to Hell” is a definitive hard rock classic. Driven by Angus Young's sharp guitar riff and Bon Scott’s raucous vocals, the original track is a raw, electric embodiment of pure stadium rock attitude and rebellion.
This cross dares to explore a improbable fusion: taking iconic Australian hard rock and dropping it directly into the heart of Brazilian Samba. The heavy distorted amps and pounding rock drums vanish, replaced by the warm swing of acoustic cavaquinhos, syncopated tamborims, and swinging surdo basslines. Sung in Portuguese, the solo male vocals exchange aggressive rock shouting for a breezy, rhythmic Brazilian cadence.
This daring experiment transforms a dark, heavy rock anthem into a sun-soaked carnival groove. Yet, beneath the tropical percussion and Portuguese phrasing, the song’s legendary hook remains unmistakably recognizable, proving that even a trip to hell can dance to a Brazilian beat.
