Background notes
Archive material and source history
Os Parodiadores formed in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1970s, with Cazuza as their vocalist. The band's name translates to 'The Parodists,' which fit their approach of mixing humor into their music. Their song 'No Toco Eu Choro' became one of their better-known tracks.
Cazuza's lyrics often touched on social issues and personal matters, which drew both fans and critics. He died in 1990 during the AIDS pandemic, which affected the band's direction. The original lineup included George Israel on guitar, Nilo Romero on bass, and Ezequiel Neves on drums, though members changed over time.
They worked with artists like Chico Buarque and Gilberto Gil, and their music pulled from samba, rock, and funk. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Brazil in 2018.
