A Brazilian band from the 1980s that mixed rock, folk, and theatrical weirdness.
For a quick sense of their vibe, try 'Lobo Mau E A Vovozinha' or 'Mocoronga'. They're both weird and catchy in that Baba Cósmica way.
They carved out a space for playful, off-kilter music in Brazil's alternative scene. Songs like 'Lobo Mau E A Vovozinha' became underground favorites, and their albums 'O Trem Fantasma' and 'Demônio Azul' hold up as curious artifacts. Their sound didn't fit neatly anywhere, which is exactly why it stuck.
André Abujamra and Arnaldo Baptista started the band in São Paulo in 1982, releasing their first album the next year. They put out records through the 1980s before stopping after a 1988 compilation.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
