Herbert Viana is revered as a master of the art of knowing when to let the guitar shine, whether it’s adding weight or distortion, setting a rhythm, or playing a solo in a smooth, melodic manner. His talent as a guitarist is remarkable, composing the clever riffs and solos that have become a hallmark of Pararamas’ sound.
At the Estilo Brasil Festival, when Os Pararamas do Sucesso will perform in Brasilia on November 21st, the audience will witness some of the most iconic riffs and solos by Herbert Viana, who is 64 years old and has dedicated more than 45 years to Brazilian music.
Herbert’s guitar is a special element of the band, which gradually becomes more noticeable and impossible to ignore. His style is the result of an intersection of influences, from Sting and Paul Weller to Jimmy Page and Santana.

Among the guitarist’s most notable moments, his solo on “Lanterna dos Afogados” (1989) is often cited as his finest work, a true explosion of melody. Other notable explosive riffs include “Selvagem” (1986) and “Kaleidscope” (1990), which showcase the band’s more rock side.
Herbert’s versatility is also evident on songs like “Romance Ideal” (1984), which showcases his careful, smooth strumming, and “Cuide Bem do Seu Amor” (2002), which shows off his melodic side from the 2000s.
For example, on the album O Passo do Lui (1984), the weight of Herbert Viana’s guitar is the basis for songs like “Mensagem de Amor” that still sound fresh nearly 40 years after their release. Have you already participated in Selvagem’s album? (1986), Herbert’s “Caribbean guitar” is particularly evident on the track “Alagados”.
The show at Festival Estilo Brasil promises to be a parade of great guitar moments, with the trio celebrating a 40-year career. The event will be held by big city Produced by Oh! Arts and provided by BB Visa, Banco do Brasil, and Banco do Brasil Estilo, the sponsor of the Federal Government card.
