There is a legend that in Terreno Baldio (translated "Wasteland") there is a mystical being who cleans the land of the rivers and seas that the day has brought. Each one has its own land, it is the place where you cleanse yourself, and in a big city, the land wasteland remains as the purification of all who play their rivers and seas, so that the mystical being called Aqueloo, brings his dance rituals at night, spells and clear the ground for the next day.
The band Terreno Baldio was born in 1974, when they got together in a group with the purpose of making progressive rock. Roberto Lazzarini was already playing with João Kurk and Joaquim in the Ilanders group, a dance band; Mozart Mello and João Ascensão joined there, having met on the recordings of Pete Dunaway's album. Everyone knew and liked King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and Yes, wanting to make a more worked sound as a group, thus creating Terreno Baldio. Terreno Baldio's music has always had a progressive feel, which was unusual for the standards of the time, characteristic for being well-crafted harmonically and musically, rhythmically, which is the mark of the prog feel. Terreno Baldio is hailed as one of the leading progressive rock bands from the seventies in Brazil, from its surrealistic album art to its equally interesting music. The homonymous work Terreno Baldio, released in 1976, was an active part of a whole scenario of youth suffering from strong political repression, representing in the song "Grite" (Scream) the desire of all Brazilian society that yearned to express its voice with freedom, being an impressive moment of collective catharsis in their live performances. Terreno Baldio has officially released two albums, the first Terreno Baldio, and the second album called Além das Lendas Brasileiras, where progressive rock got even closer to Brazilian culture. Recently with the death of singer João Kurk, the band brought in singer Roger Troyjo, remaining active with the original members Roberto Lazzarini and Mozart Mello, in addition to the accompaniment of Edson Ghilardi on drums, Geraldo Vieira on double bass and violin with Cássio Poletto. Roberto Lazzarini had a solo album called Libera o Bicho released in 2004 with the participation of the band's musicians.
