A Rio de Janeiro band from the early 1980s whose breakthrough single 'Acabou' reached beyond Brazil.
For a sense of their range, try 'Almas do Passado' alongside something like 'Me deixe ir!', the guitar riffs and reggae touches are still there.
Banda RIOT! formed in Rio de Janeiro in the early 1980s with Nelson Motta on vocals, Sérgio Dias Baptista on guitar, Billy Forghieri on bass, and Fernando Macaé on drums. They released albums including 'Banda Riot!' in 1983, 'Sucesso Exagerado' in 1985, and 'Rock in Rio' in 1987.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
