Biography

Berro was a Brazilian rock band formed in 1993 in Rio de Janeiro. The group consisted of Rodrigo Bigue (vocals), Clower (guitar), Daniel Katzenstein (keyboards), Lancaster (bass), and Tiba Magalhães (drums). The band released their self-titled album, "Berro", in 1998 through the PolyGram label, with production by Maurício Barros (formerly of Barão Vermelho) and Ezequiel Neves. The album also featured brass arrangements by Serginho Trombone and electronic programming by Jongui.

Throughout its existence, Berro performed in various clubs in Rio de Janeiro, such as Ballroom, Hipódromo Up, Mistura Fina, and El Turf. In 1999, the band expanded its performances to other cities, including Juiz de Fora (MG) and São Paulo, where they played at venues such as Sesc, Mundão, Empório Cultural, and Tom Brasil. Despite recognition in the national rock scene, the group ceased operations in December 1999.

Berro's sound was characterized by energetic rock, with influences ranging from classic rock to more contemporary elements. The album's production featured the collaboration of renowned professionals, which contributed to the sonic quality of the work. The band left behind a recorded legacy that, although singular, is remembered for its participation in the 1990s Brazilian rock scene.
