Editor's note

161's São Paulo rock with Brazilian rhythms

A Brazilian band from the 1980s that mixed rock energy with social commentary.

For a quick sense of them, try 'Poder da Mente' or 'Hora de Acordar'. They give you that rock drive with a little Brazilian feel underneath.

They came out of São Paulo in 1984 with a sound that wasn't just straight rock, there were Brazilian rhythms in there too. Songs like 'Poder da Mente' show that blend, and their lyrics sometimes got into social issues, which drew some attention at the time. They weren't afraid to say something, even if it meant some criticism.

They formed in 1984 and put out their debut in 1986, with 'Desde Que o Mundo É Mundo' as a single. Albums like 'Carnaval do Diabo' in 1989 and 'Sem Mais Delongas' in 1992 followed, and they kept playing through the early 1990s, releasing a live album in 1994.
