Rodolfo Abrantes was the vocalist for the Brazilian rock band Raimundos, a band which used to mix rock/hardcore with dirty lyrics and folk Northeastern music. They became huge in Brazil in the 90's.
In 2001, Rodolfo leaves Raimundos officially and starts a new band called Rodox.
In 2002 they released Estreito, a powerful hardcore / metalcore release and it was an instant success with the public.
A concert was announced for January 17, 2023 and I was decided to go. The concert was intense, Rodolfo was energetic as usual and the crowd knew all songs and would sing along enthusiastically (including the writer here). Rodox also played a P.O.D. cover "Alive" and the public welcomed it very well. At the end of the concert I was in sweats but very satisfied with all I saw. It's worth mentioning the technique and ferocity of Fernandão (Fernando Schaefer) who got the attention of people many times during the concert.
