Background notes
Archive material and source history
GAVI formed in São Paulo in 1985, a band that came up through the city's underground scene. Their debut album 'Beija-Fruta (o Sexo)' arrived the following year, and its explicit lyrics about sex and other taboo subjects quickly drew attention from censors and conservative audiences.
Their music mixed punk, rock, and experimental sounds with deliberately provocative lyrics. Beyond 'Beija-Fruta (o Sexo)', other tracks like 'Antídoto' and 'Chico Já Dizia' show their approach, direct, sometimes heavy, and unconcerned with mainstream acceptance. They became a symbol of Brazilian counterculture in that period.
The band's original lineup included Luiz Caldas on vocals, Renato Russo on guitar and vocals, André Jung on guitar, Marcelo Fromer on bass, and Cláudio Souza on drums. Their formation changed over time, but that early group established the confrontational style they were known for.
