A new era in music reality shows has been ushered in with the debut of the TV series, Garimpeiros do Rock. Hosted by manager Paulo Baron and Orlando Custódio, the program will air its second episode on Canal Bis on Tuesday (October 8), starting at 7 PM (Brazilian time). The following day, the content will be available on the Globoplay streaming platform, in Europe and North America.
The program features two big names in show business in search of musical gems hidden in the four corners of Brazil, so that they can be polished and raised to success: the central idea is to find the rockstar that is inside each of these artists. The new episode will feature the participation of the legend Rudolf Schenker, from Scorpions, one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Watch a tease below.
