Background notes
Archive material and source history
Banda PHD formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1986 with four members: Péricles Amaral on vocals and percussion, Rodriguinho on guitar, Neri Leal on bass, and Julinho Santos on drums. They put out their first album that same year, which included the song "Feche Os Olhos." That track became their most recognizable piece, a samba-funk ballad that stuck around in Brazilian radio rotations for years.
They released a few more albums through the early 1990s, like "Um Pouco de Mais" in 1988 and "Eu Sou" in 1993. The band's sound mixed samba with funk and soul, anchored by Amaral's lead vocals. They had some internal tensions and lineup shifts over time, and there was a legal dispute about who owned "Feche Os Olhos."
