Cachorro Grande
Brazilian musical group

Career
The band released its debut self-titled album in 2001 to regional acclaim. In 2003, the music video for "Lunático" was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2003 MTV Video Music Brazil. In 2007, they won the MTV Video Music Brazil for Best Live Performance.

History
The origin of the name
The name Cachorro Grande was suggested by Beto Bruno. Soon after, it had the endorsement of Marcelo Gross and the rest of the band. The origin came from the fact that, at the beginning of the band, still without their own songs, covers of bands like The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and The Who were part of the group's repertoire.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
