Editor's note

Gang 90's raw São Paulo punk and rap mix

A Brazilian hardcore band whose confrontational 1980s sound gave voice to working-class struggles.

For a quick sense of their energy, try 'Será Que o King Kong É Macaca?' or 'Palavras Não Bastam.' Both have that confrontational delivery they were known for.

Gang 90 mattered because they captured a specific moment when Brazilian punk was finding its voice. Their sound mixed hardcore, punk, and rap with a raw, aggressive edge that stood out in São Paulo's underground. Songs like 'Será Que o King Kong É Macaca?' became rallying points for disaffected youth at the time.

They formed in São Paulo in 1981 with João Gordo on vocals, Fábio Golfetti on guitar, Chico Science on bass, and Vladimir Muñoz on drums. They released albums like 'Disgraceland' in 1983 and 'Nós Vamos Invadir Sua Praia' in 1985. The band's lineup changed over time, but their early recordings defined their sound.
