Cachorro Grande (which translates to Big Dog in Portuguese) was a rock ensemble originating from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Career
Their inaugural album, bearing the band's name, debuted in 2001 and garnered notable recognition within their region. In 2003, the music video for "Lunático" earned a nomination for Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Brazil. Later, in 2007, they secured the award for Best Live Performance.
The original bassist, Jerônimo "Bocudo," departed in 2005 and was succeeded by Rodolfo Krieger. In 2018, Gustavo X temporarily took over guitar duties from Marcelo Gross, who then rejoined the group for their final tour in 2019.
Origin of the name
The moniker Cachorro Grande was proposed by Beto Bruno and received approval from Marcelo Gross along with other members. It traces back to the band's early phase when they covered songs by The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and The Who. The process of selecting tracks was likened to a "big dog fight," a colloquial phrase indicating a challenging situation, which ultimately inspired their band name.
