Os Carbonos formed in São Paulo in 1981 with Luiz Leme on vocals, Gilson Bernardes on bass, and André Jung on guitar. Their sound mixed punk with Brazilian rhythms, and they became known for energetic live shows and lyrics that often addressed social issues.
Their song 'Sansão e Dalila' became particularly well-known, along with tracks like 'Férias de Verão' and 'A Minha Menina.' Their 1985 debut album was called 'O Que Você Quer Saber de Ver.'
Some of their material drew criticism and occasional bans from radio, but they kept playing and recording through the 1980s. They put out five studio albums before winding down.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
