Another great Barão Vermelho song at the top of their game and one of their most well-known hits, "Bete Balanço" received a luekwarm music video
that fills us with some mystery, the outstanding music as performed by Cazuza and group but they missed one golden opportunity: to be a soundtrack
video, as the track was in fact composed for the film of same name, starring Débora Bloch and Lauro Corona. If it happened that the film wasn't
ready, just by casting the leading actress to appear in the video and interact with the group (they also appear in the movie) it would be an
interesting promotion for both the song and the movie. Instead it's just a case of regular performances, the band members appear walking around
on dunes, beautiful women appear here and there, and Cazuza dominates everything with his presence in between close-up shots. It certainly sells
the song but doesn't offer much on visual terms. 7/10.
