Pentágono formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1967 with five musicians: Marcos Valle, Edu Lobo, Nelson Motta, Ronaldo Bôscoli, and Dori Caymmi. They put out their first album in 1969, which included the song "O Q?" that became widely known across Brazil.
This led to censorship and occasional bans of their work. They released four studio albums between 1969 and 1972, including "Viva o Som" and "Pentagonismo."
Other songs like "É o Moio," "Multicultural," and "Guaraná" show the range of their output during those years. The group's activity appears to have centered on that late 1960s to early 1970s period in Rio.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
