Cracker Blues: The Brazilian Band That Blends Rock and Blues
Cracker Blues is a Brazilian rock band that was formed in 2003 by singer and guitarist Ewerton Pereira. The band's name is a tribute to the American alternative rock band Cracker, whose album Gentleman's Blues influenced Pereira's musical style.
The band's debut album, Prata Do Carrascorar, was released in 2014 and features 13 songs that mix rock, blues, country and folk elements. The album's title means "Silver of the Scoundrel" in Portuguese and refers to a slang expression used by Pereira's
grandfather.

Some of the highlights of the album are "Prata Do Carrasco", a fast-paced rock song that criticizes the corruption and violence in Brazil; "O Que Você Quer De Mim", a bluesy ballad that expresses the frustration of a broken relationship; and "A Vida Ã
Uma Só", a catchy country tune that celebrates life and freedom.
Cracker Blues has gained a loyal fan base in Brazil and abroad, thanks to their energetic live performances and their original sound that blends different musical genres. The band is currently working on their second album, which is expected to be
released in 2023.
The band's musical influences range from classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Lynyrd Skynyrd, to blues legends like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and B.B. King. Pereira also cites Brazilian artists like Raul Seixas, Zé Ramalho and Legião
Urbana as sources of inspiration.
One of the distinctive features of Cracker Blues is the use of the harmonica, played by Pereira, which adds a bluesy touch to the songs. The band also incorporates elements of Brazilian culture and folklore, such as references to cangaço, a form of
banditry that occurred in the Northeast region of Brazil in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Some of the songs from Prata Do Carrascorar have been featured in YouTube videos, such as "Ãleo", a rock song that talks about the life of a road traveler[^1^]; and "Canto Obscuro de um Bar", a blues song that depicts the loneliness and despair of a
man in a seedy bar[^2^]. The band has also released official music videos for some of their songs, such as "Prata Do Carrasco" and "O Que Você Quer De Mim".
Cracker Blues has performed in several festivals and events in Brazil and abroad, such as the Virada Cultural in São Paulo, the Rock in Rio Lisboa in Portugal, and the Blues na Montanha in Campos do Jordão. The band has also shared the stage with
renowned artists like Buddy Guy, John Mayall and Johnny Winter.
The band's second album, which is still in production, promises to bring more of their unique blend of rock and blues, with new songs and collaborations. Pereira has said that the new album will be more mature and diverse than the first one, and that he
hopes to reach a wider audience with his music.
Cracker Blues is a band that has managed to create a distinctive and original sound, combining rock and blues with Brazilian influences and themes. The band's debut album, Prata Do Carrascorar, is a testament to their talent and creativity, and a must-
listen for fans of rock and blues music.
