1970

Brazil's 1970 was defined by the World Cup triumph and the explosion of MPB. Paulinho da Viola's 'Foi Um Rio Que Passou' won Carnival, 'Pra Frente Brasil' became the World Cup anthem, and Tim Maia debuted with soul-infused 'Azul da Cor do Mar.' International hits from Simon & Garfunkel and The Beatles shared the airwaves during the military dictatorship's most repressive years.
