OS PROCURADOS formed in São Paulo in 1984, with Paulo César dos Santos (PC Siqueira) on vocals, Marcão on guitar, Sidão on bass, and Ricardinho on drums. They played a mix of punk, metal, and samba that found an audience in the city's underground scene.
Their song 'Mundo Insano' became a kind of anthem, and they faced censorship and backlash for lyrics that criticized the government, police, and social inequality. The band was accused of inciting violence, which led to arrests and concert cancellations.
They released several albums, including 'Mundo Insano' in 1986. Other songs like 'Gabriela' and 'Realidade Louca' are part of their catalog. PC Siqueira's provocative stage presence made him a polarizing figure, but the band kept playing their music as they saw it.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
