Clean Heart plays in Tubarão, Santa Catarina (2003)


In 2003, my friend Fran from Tubarão, Santa Catarina invited me to her birthday party, which would happen at the same weekend of a church reinauguration, a church (Comunidade Betsaida) which her father (Edson Zaneripe) was a pastor. That congregation had a vision to become an underground-ministry church in that town.
 
I was wondering how I could go (since I was in São Paulo city 10-hour distance from there). That was when she told me the band Clean Heart (power / heavy metal band also from São Paulo city) would go, because they would also play in a concert there in the church. Then I had no more doubts, I made my decision to go.
 
I didn't know the guys of Clean Heart, even though they were members of Zadoque (church) and I was often there. I met them at the bus station and the friendship started very easily.
 
It was a  great weekend with all of them, we were very well received and although we had a busy schedule with the concert, a prayer moment, service with communion, the birthday party, we could also visit and swim in a beautiful waterfall.

One more time I had a chance to go a concert of Rodox, now straight after the band released their second album which is called RODOX. The concert was opened by Houdini, which presented a good melodic hardcore, warming up the public before Rodolfo would come with his army. For some reason I didn't take any photo of this day, I was probably just enjoying the show, but there are photos of the first concert Rodox did at CCSP in January.

Rodox no Centro Cultural São Paulo (CCSP) - 17 de Janeiro de 2003



Rodolfo Abrantes was the vocalist for the Brazilian rock band Raimundos, a band which used to mix rock/hardcore with dirty lyrics and folk Northeastern music. They became huge in Brazil in the 90's. 

 In 2001, Rodolfo leaves Raimundos officially and starts a new band called Rodox.

 In 2002 they released Estreito, a powerful hardcore / metalcore release and it was an instant success with the public.

 A concert was announced for January 17, 2023 and I was decided to go. The concert was intense, Rodolfo was energetic as usual and the crowd knew all songs and would sing along enthusiastically (including the writer here). Rodox also played a P.O.D. cover "Alive" and the public welcomed it very well. At the end of the concert I was in sweats but very satisfied with all I saw. It's worth mentioning the technique and ferocity of Fernandão (Fernando Schaefer) who got the attention of people many times during the concert.

   

We managed to take photos with some members of the band, including Rodolfo and Fernandão. I was wearing my white Exousia t-shirt and I remember telling Rodolfo "I'm glad you're a brother now".

 

I only had a camera on me (not even digital yet) but Karabina had a camcorder and luckily we now able to check the whole concert.
