Q3m's

Q3m formed in 1988 with Rodrigo Santos on vocals and guitar, Edgard Scandurra on keyboards, and Sérgio Britto on drums. Their 1991 album 'Salve Q3m' included the song 'Então Você Veio,' which became a hit and brought them wider attention in Brazil. Other tracks like 'Monique' and 'No Olhar' also found their way onto radio playlists during that period.

They kept recording through the 1990s, putting out albums such as 'Sábado Amanhecendo' in 1994 and 'Tribunal do Amor' in 1996. Their sound had some rock and pop elements mixed with Brazilian rhythms, and Santos's voice gave it a particular tone. The band released a total of 13 studio albums over their run.

Scandurra dealt with depression and addiction at times, which affected the group's work. In 2005, Britto was involved in an incident with a fan that led to some protests, though the charges didn't stick. These things happened alongside their music, but they kept playing and recording.

Q3m's songs like 'Linda Menina' and 'Só Jah' still get played on Brazilian radio and at shows. They stopped being as active later on, but those early and mid-period records have held up for listeners who remember that era of Brazilian pop.
