Formed in 1994, they released six albums and songs like 'Alienado' that connected with listeners.
If you're new to O Circo, start with 'Alienado' and 'Feche Os Olhos'. They frame the band's sound pretty well.
O Circo mattered because they blended punk rock, ska, and reggae with Brazilian rhythms in a way that felt direct and energetic. Their lead single 'Alienado' from the 1996 debut 'Noite de Circo' connected right away, and tracks like 'Outubro' found an audience that responded to that mix. It was Marcos Almeida's voice and stage presence holding it all together.
They started in Rio de Janeiro in 1994, with their debut album 'Noite de Circo' out in 1996. Over the next decade, they put out six studio albums, including 'Circo Nervoso' in 1998 and 'Sábado de Sol' in 2000, with some lineup changes along the way.
