Archive material and source history
12 Pés formed in São Paulo in 1981 with a lineup that included vocalist André Abujamra, bassist Paulo Miklos, guitarist Fernando Catatau, drummer Ronaldo Sampaio, and keyboardist Luiz Tatit. They were part of the city's underground art scene, making music that mixed rock, punk, jazz, and Brazilian samba in ways that didn't always sit easily with more conservative listeners.
Their 1984 self-titled debut was followed by albums like 'No Mundo dos Grafites' in 1986 and 'Letrado' in 1988. One of their better-known tracks is 'Desenhos Animados,' a hypnotic piece that captures their surreal, poetic approach to lyrics. In 1988, the military government censored their song 'Quem Matou Teu Pai?' for its criticism of the authoritarian regime.
The band released 'Epopéia' in 1991 and a live album, 'Ao Vivo e a Cores,' in 1994 before disbanding in 1996.
