Rogério Duprat (7 February 1932 – 26 October 2006)[1] was a Brazilian composer and musician.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Duprat spent much of his life in São Paulo, where he died. It was there in the early 1960s that he developed an interest in the avant-garde art and music that would soon lead to him studying in Europe with Karlheinz Stockhausen and Pierre Boulez.

Returning to Brazil, Duprat wrote scores for Walter Hugo Khouri's films. Against the background of military dictatorship, Duprat met the leaders of Tropicália: Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. He found himself instantly drawn to the movement by their determination to absorb universal culture and revolutionize Brazilian music.

He wrote most of the arrangements of tropicália albums by Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé, Gal Costa, Os Mutantes, including the album Tropicália ou Panis et Circenses. He also made arrangements for other artists, such as Chico Buarque, Alceu Valença, Geraldo Azevedo etc.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derrick_Harriott
Derrick Harriott commence à chanter en 1958, au sein des Jiving Juniors. Dès 1960, ils sortent de nombreux disques, principalement pour Coxsone Dodd et Duke Reid, comme Over The River avec Rico Rodriguez, Lollipop Girl ou I'll Go To The One I Love ave Don Drummond. Puis il se lance en solo à partir de 1962 et crée le label Crystal. Dès cette époque, on retrouve sa patte sur divers enregistrements des pionniers du reggae : The Ethiopians, Keith & Tex (en)... Son grand classique est incontestablement The Loser, une composition au riff de piano obsédant. Il a retravaillé certaines love songs R&B pour en faire des tubes reggae, mais The Loser est une composition. Il chante également Solomon, qui sera repris plus tard par Dennis Brown.

En 1971, Swing Magazine le nomme Top Producer of 1970, alors qu'il était l'un des premiers à utiliser le maintenant renommé studio d'enregistrement de King Tubby. Là-bas, il se lie d’amitié avec Lee Perry et Bunny Lee. Il lança Big Youth et Dennis Brown, quand ce dernier avait 10 ou 12 ans. Dans les années 1970, il sort plusieurs albums solo dont Undertaker, Songs for Midnight Lovers, et Psychedelic Lovers. Sa version de Stop that train rhythm – Draw your brakes, interprétée par Scotty (en), a été immortalisée par le film The harder they come, dont elle constitue la séquence d’ouverture. Derrick Harriot a aussi travaillé avec U Roy et I Roy, Augustus Pablo ou encore Bongo Herman (en).
