Background notes
Archive material and source history
Gustavo Vargas formed the band Em Carne Viva in the early 1980s with Paulo Fernandes on bass, Cadu Mendonça on drums, and João Paulo on guitar. The band's name translates to 'in raw flesh,' which gives you a sense of their approach. Their debut album 'Estilhaços' came out in 1986 and found an audience among disaffected youth in Brazil.
Vargas's song 'Em Carne Viva' became something of an anthem, with its raw vocals and visceral lyrics. He also wrote 'Lamentos do Mar' and 'Rei Bobo Apaixonado,' songs that carried that same intensity.
By the late 1990s, Vargas had entered rehab and was dealing with personal struggles. The band's music, particularly songs like 'Tudo Ficará Bem' and 'Viagens,' continued to resonate even as their live performances became less frequent.
