Background notes
Archive material and source history
O Pó formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1984, started by João Barone and Ricardo Barreto. They had trouble getting shows early on when the local rock scene was already crowded. Their song 'Inocência' became well-known, a ballad about losing innocence that connected with younger listeners.
As they gained attention, some of their lyrics drew criticism. A track called 'Em Nome da Lei' addressed police brutality and led to temporary broadcasting bans. The band didn't back down from what they were writing, which made them a symbol for free expression during that period.
They put out a self-titled debut album that included 'Inocência,' followed by 'Fogo na Babilônia' which continued their socially charged commentary. The music stayed grounded in rock but carried a direct, sometimes confrontational tone that set them apart from smoother Brazilian rock acts of the time.
