A Fortaleza band from the late '80s that mixed rock, reggae, ska, and Brazilian rhythms with socially aware lyrics.
For a good sense of their sound, 'Rita Cadillac' has that mix of styles. 'Gondolero' is another one that stuck around.
They made music that didn't fit neatly into any one category, pulling from rock, reggae, ska, and Brazilian rhythms all at once. Songs like 'Rita Cadillac' and 'Movimento' carried that hybrid sound, with lyrics that could be introspective or politically charged. They built a following for that particular blend when it wasn't always embraced by the mainstream.
Formed in 1985 in Fortaleza with Chico César, Betão Aguiar, and Sérgio Filho. They released albums like 'Acabou La Tequila' in 1988 and 'O Último Dia' in 1993 before breaking up in the mid-1990s. Tracks like 'Prá lá em Tijuana' and 'Gondolero' remain in their catalog.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
