Brasil '66 on YouTube

[rockdoctor]

Recently I discovered visualizers on YouTube of the Brasil '66 songs. The song plays and the album picture is featured with a spinning lp as the background. Makes for great listening.

That's most likely Sergio's official channel there.

Now that Sergio has passed, I wonder if these will still be available on YouTube? I have really enjoyed having these play when I am not using a cd or record player in my travels.

I believe that most of these artist channels are actually managed by the record label/conglomerate holding the rights. The only case where I'd be concerned is where the artist him or herself controls their masters...and even then, there's usually an estate that has an interest in continued exposure and sale of the work.

Correct. In fact, most of the streaming content available on the paid services also appears on YouTube Music (which also appears on the main YouTube), which is why I was linking them in reviews and AotW articles.

Non-artist/non-label videos are always at risk of being blocked by YouTube due to copyright. I have dozens posted and I have had content blocked either in certain countries (like Russia) or worldwide (which keeps them offline for everyone). The algorithm is strange also. If I put track names and track timing in a video, it can get blocked; remove them, and the video is unblocked. 🤷‍♂️ In fact, I have to go in because some "wise" person went through a half dozen videos and put timing/track names in the comments, which likely will get the videos blocked.
