A Brazilian punk band from the 1980s that mixed reggae and samba with raw political energy.
For their sound, try 'Jurema' or 'Despertar'. Both have that São Paulo punk energy they were known for.
They formed in São Paulo in 1982 and faced arrests and concert bans for their music. Songs like 'Jurema' and 'Azul Flamejante' captured a specific moment of Brazilian punk resistance without polish or compromise. Their 1984 album 'O Ódio É a Verdade' and 1986's 'Tá Na Hora de Recomeçar' document that energy before their catalog was cut short.
The band formed in São Paulo in 1982 with vocalist Zé do Caixão and guitarist Bezerra. They released two albums in the mid-80s while staying rooted in the city's underground scene. Their music drew from punk, reggae, and samba in equal measure.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
