R.P

R.P formed in Fortaleza, Ceará in 1994 with Roger Rocha on vocals and guitar, Paulo Neto on bass, and Pedro Jota on drums. Their debut album "Tô te querendo" came out the following year, and the single "A segunda" helped push them to wider attention. The band's sound pulled from forró, pop, and rock, and they worked with artists like Caetano Veloso and Elba Ramalho.

Songs like "Razões de Se Viver" and "Ousada" show their mix of catchy melodies and more reflective lyrics. Vocalist Zélia Duncan joined in 2003, adding another layer to their recordings. The group faced some public controversies over plagiarism claims and internal tensions, which led to lineup shifts and breaks in activity.

They kept putting out albums, including "O disco," "O nome do disco," and "A ponte." Their music stayed grounded in Brazilian rhythms while reaching for pop appeal, and tracks like "Estará Em Mim" reflect that balance. The band's output from the mid-90s onward left a straightforward catalog that still gets played.
