Our International Spotlight this week looks back nearly a decade to Brazil. Here's more from Tim Krysko from Punk International:

For the first time, the international spotlight is looking back almost ten years for a 'classic spotlight', so to speak. The band is Raimundos, the Brazilian legends who mixed elements of Brazilian folk music with hardcore starting with their debut self-titled record released in 1994. This record has turned into one of my all-time favorites. Every song is incredible, with melodies that are uniquely Brazilian and rapid fire rhythmic vocals in Portuguese. I narrowed the field down to two songs for this week's spotlight. Download and enjoy.

Raimundos ~ Nega Jurema (MP3)
Raimundos ~ Bicharada (MP3)

Recent Spotlights: Sun Eats Hours (Italy), Goblins (Spain)
