Archive material and source history
Banda ÓPIO formed in São Paulo during the mid-1990s, with Fernando Badauí as their frontman. Their sound mixed rock, reggae, and psychedelic elements, and their lyrics often touched on topics that drew criticism from conservative quarters. Their debut album in 1998 shared its name with the song 'Mês de Maio,' which became widely known.
They released several albums, including 'Sarna' in 2000 and 'Maktub' in 2003. Their music sometimes incorporated electronic or hip-hop touches, and songs like 'Siga teus Passos' and 'Viagem Progressiva' appeared in their catalog.
Banda ÓPIO toured in South America and Europe. The group's lineup included Luiz Gayotto on guitar, Marcelo Naddeo on bass, and André Abujamra on drums at various points, with Badauí remaining a constant presence. Their music has been used in films and television.
