Rock Doido

Gaby Amarantos's Rock Doido presents itself as a sonic exploration that draws directly from the cultural roots of her native region, the state of Pará, in Brazil. This fourth studio album, released on August 29, 2025, stems from the artist's fascination with *aparelhagem* parties, street music events that are a pillar of community life in the north of the country. The idea was to recreate that vibrant and collective atmosphere, conceiving the record as a continuous set, with short pieces flowing one after another, just as would happen in a live celebration. To shape this vision, Gaby Amarantos collaborated closely with the collective Altar Sonoro, who contributed not only to the musical production but also to an innovative audiovisual proposal.

About the album

Rock Doido, according to DoReSol

One of the most striking aspects of the creation of Rock Doido was its experimental approach. A sequence shot short film was recorded, using a smartphone in the streets of the Condor neighborhood, in Belém, Pará. This technique sought to capture the spontaneity and raw energy of Amazonian culture, reinforcing the project's commitment to a peripheral and popular aesthetic. Musically, the album is a melting pot of influences that reflect the richness of northern Brazil. Tecnobrega, originating from Pará and characterized by its danceable electronic rhythms, serves as the base, but it is enriched with elements of brega-funk, carimbó, and Latin rhythms, in addition to featuring the participation of artists such as Lauana Prado, Viviane Batidão, and Gang do Eletro.

The critical reception of Rock Doido highlighted its originality and its role in valuing Paráense culture. The album was recognized for its audiovisual power and cultural impact, positioning the Amazon as an important focus of contemporary Brazilian music production. The song Foguinho, in particular, received significant mentions, being nominated for Hit of the Year and winning in the Brega of the Year category at the Prêmio Multishow 2025, where the album also competed for Album of the Year and Cover of the Year. This work consolidated Gaby Amarantos's career after her previous album, TecnoShow (2022), delving deeper into her roots and exploring new sonic and visual avenues.
