description: "Roche Braziliano was a Dutch pirate from the city of Groningen. His piratical career lasted from 1654 until his death in 1681. He was first made famous in Alexandre Exquemelin's 1678 book The Buccaneers of America; Exquemelin did not know Braziliano's real name, but historians have argued his probable real name was Gerrit Gerritszoon and that he and his parents had moved to Dutch Brazil. He is known as \"Roche Braziliano\", which in English translates to \"Rock the Brazilian\", due to his long exile in Brazil."
