Bento Araujo, researcher, journalist and Record collector, will be launching his two volume book Lindo Sonho Delirante at the Embassy of Brazil in London

The search for the new has always driven humankind, but in the 1960s, this quest gained greater intensity. In the universe of popular art, it was a time of overwhelming creativity.

The books Lindo Sonho Delirante- volumes 1&2 by the journalist, researcher and record collector Bento Araujo, are written in English and Portuguese.

In Volume1- Lindo Sonho Delirante: 100 psychedelic records from Brazil (1968-1975) exposes the complete range and breadth of Brazil’s 1960s and 1970s psych rock scene by presenting one hundred records that transformed the Brazilian music scene.

In Volume 2 – Lindo Sonho Delirante: 100 daring records from Brazil (1976-1985) Araujo’s research begins in 1976 until 1985. He explores a period of deep discoveries and turnarounds in Brazilian music.

Both volumes feature complete cover art reproductions of all records. It is a fully illustrated celebration of the records which changed Brazil forever.
