Luiz Carlini (1952 - 2026) has a legacy celebrated in a collective show created by Guilherme Arantes Reproduction / Facebook Guilherme Arantes ♫ NEWS ♬ Guilherme Arantes was deeply touched by the death of São Paulo guitarist and composer Luiz Carlini (August 31, 1952 – May 7, 2026), who died exactly one month ago, at the age of 73. Determined to celebrate the legacy of this guitar hero of Brazilian rock, member of the band assembled by Arantes for the show on the current “50 anos luz” tour, the artist created an all-star tribute to Carlini. The celebration is scheduled for August 27th – four days before the guitarist's 74th birthday – at a show at Espaço Unimed, in São Paulo (SP), Arantes and Carlini's hometown. The intention is to invite guitarists influenced by Carlini, such as Roberto Frejat, to the show. Stage assistant for the group Os Mutantes, Luiz Carlini began to make history in Brazilian rock when he founded the band Tutti Frutti in 1973. The São Paulo group anchored Rita Lee (1947 – 2023) after the singer's turbulent departure from Mutantes. Released in 1975, with the song “Ovelha Negra” in the repertoire, the second of the band's four albums with Rita, “Fruto prohibited”, is the milestone of this golden phase of Carlini, Rita's partner in several hits. One of the hits from the album “Fruto Prohibido”, the rock song “Agora Só Falta Você” (1975) is the best-known song from Carlini's partnership with Rita, with whom the guitarist also composed “Lá vou eu” (a song written in 1975 for the soundtrack of the soap opera “O Grito”), “Com a boca no mundo” and “Corista de rock”, among other songs. A master of guitarists such as Andreas Kisser and the aforementioned Frejat, Carlini created and imprinted personality on the sound of the Gibson Les Paul guitar, outlining the sound of the Tutti Frutti group and creating his own signature between blues-rock and hard rock, generally prioritizing melodic solos and enticing phrasing to the detriment of technical displays of virtuosity. An admirer of Luiz Carlini's style, Guilherme Arantes had the guitarist's touch on albums such as “Coração paulista” (1980).
