Since the late 1980s, they've mixed rock, reggae, and Brazilian sounds with lyrics that don't shy from social commentary.
For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Luke, Eu Sou Seu Pai' or 'Eu Sou Emo'. They give you the mix of rock and Brazilian rhythms, plus those lyrics that get people talking.
They've been doing this since 1989, when their self-titled debut came out. Songs like 'Luke, Eu Sou Seu Pai' show how they blend rock with Brazilian rhythms and reggae touches. Their lyrics about social issues and personal themes have sometimes drawn criticism, which tells you something about who they're talking to.
They formed in São Paulo in the mid-1980s with Ciro Pessoa on vocals and guitar. Over the years, keyboardist Maurício Maestro joined in 1990, and guitarist Marcus Vinicius replaced Pessoa in 1993. They've put out albums like 'Em Construção' in 1992 and 'Retrato do Brasil' in 2015.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
