IMPAR formed in Brasília in 1982 with B. Negão on vocals and guitar, Deko on bass, and Edgard Scandurra on guitar. Their debut album 'Impermanência' came out in 1985, and the song 'Pensando Em Você' from that record connected with listeners in a way that felt different from what was happening in mainstream Brazilian pop at the time.
They had a raw, introspective sound that found an audience in the underground scene. In 1988, they were arrested after a show in São Paulo, an incident that became part of a larger conversation about artists and censorship in the country.
Their catalog includes songs like '853' and 'A+B', and they kept working after those early years, though their path wasn't a straightforward commercial one. The music they made, particularly tracks like 'Pensando Em Você', has a specific, lingering quality that people still talk about.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
