The Brazilian band 1pratrinta formed in Brasília in the early 2000s with members Renato Russo, Marcelo Bonfá, and Dado Villa-Lobos. Their music pulled from rock, pop, and samba, and they became known for lyrics that touched on social and political themes. One of their notable songs is the ballad "Lágrimas de Jacaré."
They released several albums, including their self-titled debut in 1984, followed by records like "Dezesseis" and "Orestes." The group's performances sometimes drew protests from conservative listeners who objected to their direct lyrical content.
Renato Russo served as the primary songwriter and frontman until his death in 1996. Marcelo Bonfá played drums and sang, while Dado Villa-Lobos was the guitarist. Their work remains part of the conversation around Brazilian music from that period.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
