The Jet Black's were a Brazilian rock band that formed in the 1980s. They had a raw, energetic sound built around Magrão's vocals, Nando Violeta's guitar work, Ringo's basslines, and Edgard Scandurra's drumming. Their 1987 album 'Radiofonia' included 'Chapeuzinho Vermelho,' which became one of their best-known songs.
They released several albums that showed different sides of their music. 'Como Você Gosta' from 1986 established their edgy approach, while 1990's 'Cidade Nebulosa' found them experimenting more. By 1993's 'Sol: O Culto do Fogo,' they had shifted toward a quieter, more acoustic direction. Other tracks like 'Round And Round' and 'Suzie Q' showed their rock foundation.
The band faced internal tensions and personal struggles during their run, but they maintained a dedicated following in Brazil. Their music, particularly songs like 'Chapeuzinho Vermelho,' remains part of the country's rock conversation from that era.
