‘Yesterday night I dreamed I was Jack Keroac’ The story of São Paulo’s underground dates back from the early 80’s and owes a lot to pop militant, poet, lead singer, DJ and full-time dreamer Julio Barroso and his Gang 90 & As Absurdettes. Julio was a larger than life character, a die-hard fan of black music who was also a ‘living bible’ of Brazilian popular music and a great admirer of acts such as Kid Creolle & The Coconuts, B52's and Pere Ubu. After living for some time in New York, by the late 70's where he worked as a barman, Julio used to check out the No Wave scene via Arto Lindsay.
