Since the inception of commercial radio in Brazil circa 1930, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo have built different centres of musical and cultural activities. Rio de Janeiro had a bigger slice of that activity because most of the foreign recording companies as Victor, EMI and Columbia were based in the Federal District - Brazil's capital. Rio's Radio Mayrink Veiga was the most popular radio station in the nation until the federal government created Radio Nacional in 1936 and took its place at the top after a couple of years.
Radio Record was São Paulo's most popular radio station in the 1930s and by 1960 São Paulo was as powerful as Rio in the cultural arena having not only radio stations but 3 different TV broadcasters.
By 1955, rock'n'roll was the new rage in the USA but it took some time to take its roots here. By 1960 it was clear to see that rock had two different sources. São Paulo was problably at the forefront with Celly Campello & her brother at the top of the charts.
Both cities had rock'n'roll shows on radio and TV. By 1963, D.J. Antonio Aguillar was São Paulo's hottest rock MC having radio shows at Radio Nacional Paulista and TV Paulista.
In Rio, Celia Vilela had her own TV rock show on TV Continental and Jair de Taumaturgo had a high-rating show on Radio Mayrink Veiga called 'Hoje é dia de rock' (Today's is rock's day).

Carlos Alberto Sossego dies
Carlos Alberto Lopes aka Sossego ele deixou uma marca indiscutível no segmento de amplificadores feitos no Brasil.
Em entrevista com a Custom Shop Brasil, Carlos Alberto “Sossego” explicou que seu sobrenome na verdade era Lopes, mas todo mundo conhecia ele como “Sossego” e desse jeito ele será lembrado para sempre.
Carlos Alberto “Sossego” faleceu na sexta-feira, 28 Fevereiro 2020, em São Paulo.
Ele foi um dos primeiros DJs no Brasil, começando no rádio em 1957 tocando sucessos do Cash Box quando ainda ninguém conhecia e trouxe os primeiros amplificadores Marshall ao país em 1968.
Aos 15 anos ele começou a aprender sobre eletrônica, depois trabalhou numa loja da Santa Efigênia montando transformadores e amplificadores, até que um dia um amigo pediu para consertar o amplificador de guitarra que tinha quebrado, era um modelo Fender de 1959. Carlos pediu para um amigo professor de inglês escrever uma carta para a Fender pedindo todos os esquemas desse modelo. Um mês depois recebeu pelo correio um envelope grosso da Fender contendo os esquemas de todos os amplificadores que a empresa fazia e assim começou sua paixão.
Trabalhou na Giannini, assistindo no desenvolvimento das guitarras Supersonic e dos amplificadores Tremendão. Mais recentemente se dedicou a construir amplificadores na sua própria oficina. Sempre será lembrado na indústria do áudio nacional. Descanse em paz!
