Background notes
Archive material and source history
Paranóia formed in São Paulo in 1982 with Antônio Carlos on vocals, Ivan Araújo on guitar, Sérgio Serra on bass, and Paulo Barnabé on drums. Their sound was raw and didn't fit neatly into categories, with lyrics that often touched on social and political themes.
Their song '7manda' became a notable track, built around Serra's bassline and Barnabé's drumming. The lyrics about a woman named Amanda were seen as subversive enough that censors kept it off the radio. They kept playing anyway, and other songs like 'Ela Também Gosta' and 'Noite de Luau' show up in their catalog.
They worked in the underground scene, avoiding mainstream conventions. The band's straightforward approach to their music and performances carried on through that period without much fuss about their place in things.
