CÁLIX Prog Folk • Brazil

Cálix biography (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=421)

CÁLIX is an excellent Brasilian group that plays some very interesting prog with a variety of influences, although their music is mostly progressive folk-rock oriented. Musically the band uses at least a dozen different instruments including the flute, harmonica, violin, piano and what I presume are some traditional Brazilian folk instruments. That's why they are referred to as the South-American JETHRO TULL. 

The album "Canções de Beurin", released in 2000 and sung entirely in Portuguese is very illustrative with a tone of voice less raucous than that of Ian ANDERSON. "A Roda" can be described as a fairly straight mix of later-day TULL and CAMEL. A bit of blues, a bit of rock and quite a bit of folk.
