The virtually successful band in Brazilian rock, Os Paralamas (or Os Paralamas do Sucesso profited from the former experiences of old bands, consolidating the prosperity of the writing style and likewise opening the way for other groups. With 12 albums released in Brazil and iI in Argentina, some of these reaching the one-million mark, the band likewise has a notable external vocation.


Paralamas do Sucesso were formed in 1982 by bassist Bi Ribeiro (Felipe Ribeiro, born in 1961, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), guitarist/vocalist Herbert Vianna (born in 1961, João Pessoa, PB), and drummer Vital Dias, world Health Organization was replaced the next year by João Barone (born in 1962, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). The focal point of the band was reggae and ska with a rock candy background.


Ribeiro and Vianna, world Health Organization lived in Brasília, DF, were acquainted with each former from a young historic period. Vianna liked to play the galvanising guitar, only Ribeiro wasn't a instrumentalist at the time. In 1978, at 16, Vianna's mob came to Rio with him, and Ribeiro arrived the next year. Vianna insisted that Ribeiro buy an electrical basso, inviting a high gear school mate (at the Bahiense), Vital Dias, for the drums. With the trey of them enrolling in college in 1980, their rehearsals became thin. The end of that year found them disenchanted with their undergraduate courses, and they turned to medicine, inscribing their triad under the name Os Paralamas do Sucesso at the festival of the Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (were Ribeiro was studying) in mid-1981. "Vital e Sua Moto" was one of the registered songs, but all three weren't classified. Even and then, they were allowed to play in the breaks, but drummer Dias had abandoned the scene, leaving way for João Barone, wHO studied zootechnics there. On September 17, 1982, the trinity played the same University over again, where Dias and Barone were to get hold of turns at the drums. But Dias, probably believing he was non up for the competition, abandoned the setting and the band after iI songs.


In late November, the dance band open at the Western bar in Rio. At that clock time they already had some originals, and included Renato Russo's (a ally from Brasília times) songs, like "Química." The reception was good, and they recorded their first demonstration. After trying some vocalists, Vianna distinct to take control of the vocal parts. The demonstration spun quite a bite on the Fluminense FM program Maldita (a radio receiver platform that specialised in stone), and the isthmus yielded a jam-packed family in their second base time of year at the Western and an invitation to exposed a Lulu Santos picture at the Circo Voador the following month.


At that spot they received invitations from three recording companies -- Warner, Polygram, and EMI-Odeon -- sign language with the latter in April and cathartic their first gear single, "Life-sustaining e Sua Moto," in June. The song sold 11,000 copies and before the ending of the year, their showtime LP, Cinema Mudo, was released. The trio later regretted doing the album; at the time, they couldn't fight the producer, wHO distinct to top it with keyboards and guitars. But they went on, opening at the New York night club Danceteria in that year. O Passo do Lui, released in August 1984, coagulated their connections with the new wave reggae proposed by the Police and the English bands Madness and the Beat, among others. The album had the hits "Óculos," "Assaltaram a Gramática," and "Romanticism Ideal." The dance band immediately began to spiel to larger audiences, like the presentation at Barrashopping's Sextas Musicais when they played for 5,000 mass, before long followed by the Rock in Rio Festival (January 1985), an event tended to by around 250,000 people on each of its 5 nights. Here, they performed two shows: on January 13 and 15. On June 15 of that year, they did deuce performances for 17,000 the great unwashed each at the Gigantinho, in Porto Alegre, RS, receiving in that night the gold record for selling C,000 copies of O Passo do Lui. In March 1986, they did the first of many Argentinean tours, acting at the Chateau Rock Festival (Cordoba) and at the Paradis night club in Buenos Aires. Selvagem, their adjacent album, was released on July 30, 1986. The album, which had been distributed to stores 45 years ahead, had already sold 300,000 copies.


The international calling of the set, the about expressive until then in the Brazilian rock scene, exploded with some other go to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the same class, followed by Spain, Paraguay, Uruguay, Portugal, Chile, France, and Switzerland, where, at the Montreux festival on July 4, 1987, they recorded their first gear live album, D. The album had, along with the keyboard of João "Fera" Gonçalves, George Israel's (Kid Abelha) sax, divination a phase where brass instrument sections and keyboard would be incorporated in the Paralamas' levelheaded. The year finished with a prime time special near the band released by the second largest TV network in Brazil, SBT.


1988 brought an invitation for the band to opened a Tina Turner picture in Buenos Aires on January 3. Four days later, they opened for UB40 and Simple Minds at Rio's Hollywood Rock festival. In February the dance band, in concert with Fera and a brass section (and involvement by Charly Garcia) recorded Bora Bora, released on May 27. The dance band continued to on a regular basis liberation albums in the former '80s and '90s: Liberal Bang, 1989; Arquivo, 1990; Os Grãos, 1991; Severino, 1993; Vamo Batê Lata, 1995; Nove Luas, 1996; and Hey Na Na, 1998. In Argentina, the stria, highly regarded, released deuce albums in the '90s which sold identical well -- Paralamas and Dos margaritas -- chronic to perform for big audiences in that respect. Vamo Batê Lata, a live CD, sold 800,000 copies in Brazil. In 1997 a corner ready was released entitled A Pólvora featuring the band's low gear eight CDs, and a remastering of Abbey Road. Hey Na Na sold one million copies in front its spill.
