Why This Album Matters
O Concreto Já Rachou marks the phonographic debut of Plebe Rude, one of the pillars of Brazilian punk rock, in 1986. Released as a mini LP, this seven-track work quickly stood out in the musical scene of the time for its raw sound and hard-hitting lyrics. Its relevance is underlined by the radio success of songs such as "Até Quando Esperar" and "Proteção", which captured public attention and solidified the band's identity during an effervescent period of national rock.
Context
This mini LP represented Plebe Rude's first studio recording, introducing the public to the vibrant sound and incisive discourse that would characterise their trajectory in Brazilian punk rock.
Recording
The recording of O Concreto Já Rachou featured the production of Herbert Vianna, a member of Paralamas do Sucesso, adding a notable collaboration to the creative process. The album was officially released in February 1986, with launch shows at the Noites Cariocas nightclub.
Songs
With its seven tracks, the album offers a concise and powerful overview of Plebe Rude's punk rock. Among the songs, "Até Quando Esperar" and "Proteção" achieved great radio prominence, becoming anthems for the generation. The instrumentation is enriched by the participation of guest musicians, such as Fernanda Abreu on vocals for "Sexo e Karatê", Jaques Morelenbaum on cello in "Até Quando Esperar", and Herbert Vianna, who lends his voice to "Minha Renda".
Legacy
Commercially, O Concreto Já Rachou is Plebe Rude's most successful album, achieving a gold disc and selling around 200,000 copies. Its importance goes beyond numbers, being widely recognised as one of the great albums of Brazilian rock. Specialised critics endorse its value, with Rolling Stone Brasil magazine electing it 57th among the 100 best albums of Brazilian music, and the book "Os 500 Maiores Álbuns Brasileiros De Todos Os Tempos" placing it in 126th position. The album's enduring quality is evident in its full performance at most of the band's shows, and in its re-release in 2011, alongside other milestones of national rock.
