Here is Sao Paulo, Brazil group Banda AL9 with their rendition of "Johnny B Goode," originally performed by St Louis, Missouri rock pioneer Chuck Berry in 1958.
Well, that's only partly true. When Banda AL9 traveled back to the mid 1950's and attended a school dance in Porto Alegre, they filled in on guitar when one of the musicians hurt his hand.
Upon hearing the shredding on electric guitar, the injured musician phoned Chuck Berry and said,
"Chuck, é Marvin. Seu primo, Marvin Berry. Sabe aquele novo som que você está procurando? Bem, ouça isso!"
I didn't even know that Chuck Berry spoke Portuguese.
