Editor's note

Nalanda, the Brazilian band from Rio

A 1980s Rio de Janeiro group whose song "Sensível Demais" became a national hit in 1992.

For a quick sense of them, put on "Sensível Demais" and "Sombra". That's the heart of it.

Nalanda's music, especially the hit "Sensível Demais", defined a certain Brazilian pop-rock sound in the early '90s. Songs like "Longe do Chão" and "Qual É" found a real audience, even as some critics called them too sentimental. They weren't flashy, but they stuck around, and their records like "Asas" and "Fragmentos" still turn up in collections.

They formed in Rio in 1985, with Marcos Almeida on vocals and a steady lineup of guitarists, bassist, and drummer. After years of local shows, "Sensível Demais" broke through nationally in 1992. The band kept releasing albums through the '90s and early 2000s, mostly with the same members.

Archive material and source history

Nalanda was a Brazilian band that formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1985. The group included Marcos Almeida on vocals, guitarists Rodrigo Santos and Cláudio Rosa, bassist Paulo César, and drummer Alexandre Cunha. They spent their early years playing shows around the city, though wider recognition took some time to arrive.

In 1992, their song "Sensível Demais" became a national hit. Other songs like "Longe do Chão," "Qual É," and "Nada Mais" also found an audience during this period.

While popular, the band faced criticism from some quarters for being overly sentimental. They released several albums through the 1990s and early 2000s, including "Asas" in 1994 and "Fragmentos" in 1996. The original lineup stayed together for most of their active years.
