This is one of the BEST Brazilian bands around. You do not have to know Portuguese to like it. However, the lyrics are excellent. It is a pain you know where to classify anything Brazilian, but "rock" or "fusion" will not be that far from the truth. Song number eleven has a special participation of another Brazilian band: SEPULTURA. Song number 5 deserves special attention (My Soul or " The peace I do not want").

There are no dirty words. "Me deixa" is a "light" song. Even for a Portuguese-speaking person, the lyrics are tought to understand due to the beat, but they are worth a web search. The vocalist "Falcão" is one of the most intelligent and politically engaged Brazilian artists around.

This is a very ecletic group. The first song is a symphony from Villa-Lobos "turned into" a pop song. "Diana" is a love song for a dog that passed away which is more beautiful than the majority of love songs written for women...
