Rock Day: AutoPapo team chooses their favorites to listen to in the car

July 13 was declared as World Rock Day in Brazil by two radio stations in São Paulo. The reason was the holding of the mega event Live Aid, a mega concert held in the USA and England with several artists to fight hunger on the African continent.

Music is usually a recurring subject in the AutoPapo newsroom, those who follow our videos must have already noticed some members of the team with band shirts. To get in the mood for World Rock Day (which is not worldwide), let’s show a little of what plays in our cars.
