Archive material and source history
Iraque e Iran formed in São Paulo in 1981, taking their name from the Iran-Iraq war that was happening at the time. The band's lineup included vocalist Nasi, guitarist Edgard Scandurra, bassist Ricardo Gaspa, and drummer André Jung. They put out albums like 'IRA' in 1983 and 'Psicoacústica' in 1988, working in a space that pulled from punk and Brazilian Tropicalia.
Their song 'A Tragédia' from 1988 became a kind of anthem for the band, with its direct lyrics about peace and conflict. It got them into some trouble with censors during Brazil's military rule, but they didn't change the words. Other tracks like 'Medalha de Bronze' and 'Passado e o Presente' rounded out their catalog of socially pointed rock.
Iraque e Iran's music was always tied to the political moment, but it wasn't just protest. The sound had its own rough energy, a product of that specific São Paulo scene in the 1980s. They kept at it through the decade before things eventually quieted down.
