Brothers Humberto and Rodrigo Gessinger led this politically-minded group through the 1980s.
For a sense of their later sound, try 'Preso Em Sentimento' or 'Resto do Inferno.' Both show the band's continued focus on weighty themes.
A286 wasn't afraid to ask difficult questions in their music. Songs like 'Qual o Preço do Sangue?' and 'Em Nome do Ódio ou do Amor' tackled social and political themes head-on, which sometimes drew criticism from those who found their lyrics too charged. Their 1985 debut album included 'Dono do Destino,' which became a hit and brought them wider attention.
Formed in São Paulo with brothers Humberto and Rodrigo Gessinger, drummer Cazuza Ribeiro, and bassist Marcelo Gross, they released their debut in 1985. They followed with albums like 'Arsenal' in 1986 and 'Como Uma Onda' in 1989. The band maintained its core lineup throughout its active years.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
