THE BEST OF BRAZILIAN MUSIC
Nelio Guerson often also credited as " Nelinho " dos Fire Boys, is one of the classic hi-energy artists from Valadares MG BRAZIL.
This brazilian artist born in April, 27, 1950 in Leopoldina / Minas Gerais and currently living in Valadares, released many pop rock songs in pre-modern talking era. His personal "trademarks" are his Jacket and his Fish Tail Guitar (a black Jackson - Japanese Guitar).
Many of us think of Nelio Guerson as the singer of his own songs and smash hit magic music. Uncountable copies of free mp3 music download across the net, topped charts around Europe in late 1999. The eventual brazilian success was caused by its exposure on Yahoo Search Engine, Google and You Tube. The song was a catchy, pop rock song called " Magic Music " in the old Beatles style and high-pitched voice. In fact, visitors thought that were The Beatles singing again in a good beatlemania style. The song " Magic Music " had two versions. The long version from "Magic Music " was the best because it has a beautiful prelude performed by his old good friend Hudson Almeida ( keyboard ). It was so called " Magic Music with Prelude". A remarkable Top Hit.
Actually, Nelio Guerson had several songs that became acclaimed hits. Another Mega Hit by him " Not Any More ". has been done in similar style as " beatles songs ". Speaking of " Not Any More ", this track was remixed in 2005 and released again on Yahoo Search Engine and Google.
This song had two remixes. The long version was replaced by a short version. They were good but in my opinion the second sound was better. It was better masterized.
Many of you don't really know the rest of the career of this brazilian singer songwriter musician who started in the midle 60's - 70's playing guitar with THE FIRE BOYS ( a band founded by him ) in concerts and on his records.
In fact Nelio Guerson recorded with THE FIRE BOYS an album called "Havai" name of his first song in 1966. He later became the leading singer and guitarist in the group SCORPIONS ( also called ESCORPIOES from Brazil ) which is one of these rare brazilian groups to be successfully exported around the world in the history of Rock.
This is the era of the giant stages, expo and clubs where he performed side by side with all legends of Rock and Roll. THE FIRE BOYS got separated and Nelio Guerson stayed in SAO PAULO - BRAZIL for several years where he worked on new songs with his brother Carlos Guerson.
He returned to Valadares and his song " NOT ANY MORE " has become number 1 on brazilian charts.
Nelio Guerson's music is a classical hi-energy pop rock music. He had also very slow tracks on sleazy energy edge. The best examples are " I Need Your Care ", " Namorada ". " UFO " He also recorded faster songs in more English hi-energy style. The best example is " MAGIC MUSIC ".
It seems that Nelio Guerson's style had an influence on Beatles group, since they represented quite similar sound...
He says about himself: I am what I am, a good musician before an Engineer.
His new work involves some new kind of new sound that will be played in The near future.
There are much more.....

Folia De Reis
Nelio Guerson and Carlos Guerson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que tem uma casa um rede e um quintal
Criado na beira da estrada
Onde eu galopava com meu animal
Assim como muitos no campo
Ja fui violeiro ja fui cantador
Cantava no coro da Igreja
E em todo Santo Janeiro
Com frases da Biblia que eu mesmo rimei
Descia as casas cantando as cancoes de Folia de Reis
( Solo )
Porem dentro do pensamento
Largar tudo isso no sonho eu trazia
E hoje e o escuro das ruas
Os becos de lixo, minha moradia
Amigo daqueles que roubam
Estou sempre em fuga sempre correndo
Meu rosto esta sempre entre as maos
Ora escondendoo pranto, ora me escondendo
Agora de nada adianta
Lembrar do meu mestre ou de suas licoes
So resta a ironia de tambem poder morrer entre ladroes
( Solo )
Porem dentro do pensamento
Largar tudo isso no sonho eu trazia
E hoje e o escuro das ruas
Os becos de lixo, minha moradia
Amigo daqueles que roubam
Estou sempre em fuga sempre correndo
Meu rosto esta sempre entre as maos
Ora escondendoo pranto, ora me escondendo
E eu que ja fui violeiro
Esqueci as cantigas que um dia cantei
Nao tendo sequer a viola pra tocar
A Folia de Reis
( Solo)
Oi la pro lado do Oriente
Uma estrela apareceu ai ai
Aos tres magos anunciando
Que o Messias ja nasceu ai ai
( Solo)
The lyrics of Nelio Guerson and Carlos Guerson's song Folia De Reis tell the story of a man who was raised in the countryside, with a home, a hammock, and a backyard where he used to ride his animal. He was once a violeiro and a cantador, singing in the church choir where he also learned the Lord's lessons. Every January, he would sing the songs of Folia de Reis, using phrases from the Bible that he had rhymed himself, as he went down the houses.
However, despite his humble origins and his love for music and the Lord's teachings, the man found himself homeless, wandering through dark streets and alleys, always on the run, always hiding his face, sometimes hiding his tears. He had become an accomplice of thieves, with nothing left but bitter irony as he faced the possibility of dying among them.
The song reflects the poignant contrast between the man's past and present, his dreams and his reality, his faith and his despair. It speaks of the fragility of human life, of the harshness of poverty, of the consequences of bad choices. Yet, it also carries the echo of the hope and beauty of Folia de Reis, the celebration of the Magos and the Messias, the light that still shines in the darkness.
