Os Paralamas do Sucesso is a Brazilian Rock Trio hailing from Seropédica, Rio de Janeiro, formed in 1977 and it consists of vocalist and guitarist Herbert Vianna, bassist Bi Ribeiro and drummer João Barone.Herbert and Bi were childhood friends born in Brasília who reunited years after moving to the city of Rio de Janeiro. They decided to start a band and invited a friend called Vital Dias to play the drums. After the latter missed a gig they were supposed to play, an acquaintance recommended João Barone to them and Vital slowly was phased out from the band afterwards.With the frequent local airplay of the single "Vital e Sua Moto"note An early demo of the song that was sent on tape to the local station, Radio Fluminense. and their energetic live shows, the band was signed to EMI to record Cinema Mudo...which actually received little fanfare. It was with their sophomore record, O Passo do Lui in the following year, that the band was able achieve national breakthrough, with the singles "Óculos", "Meu Erro", "Romance Ideal" and "Ska" and their acclaimed performance in the first edition of Rock In Rio in 1985.The band released three albums throughout the remainder of The '80s with albums Selvagem? (1986), Bora Bora (1988) and Big Bang (1989), all of which saw a huge change in their repertoire. Despite that, the band still was able to remain favorably popular with the public, not only able to score hits such as "Alagados", "Quase Um Segundo" and "Lanterna dos Afogados",note They had other hits, these are selected notable cuts from each respective album mentioned above. but also being invited to play in the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland during this time period. All of this helped cement the band’s place in the Brazilian rock scene.The first half of The '90s, however, wasn’t really as kind to them. Although they scored a hit with "Caleidoscópio" from their first compilation, their both of albums Os Graõs (1991) and Severino (1994) didn't do well in sales, receiving less than favorable reviews and alienating longtime fans. Though the band was able to recover by the second half with the success of their live album Vamo Bate Lata in 1995, as well the two studio albums Nove Luas and Hey Na Na in 1996 and 1998 respectively.In February 2001, Herbert had an accident while piloting his ultralight airplane by crashing into the sea. The accident involved him and his wife, the latter who couldn't make it. He spent 44 days in a coma, lost part of his memory and is only able to walk on the wheelchair. After the recovering process, he reunited with the rest of the group and recorded the album Longo Caminho in 2002, the first album after his accident. They released three albums since then, albeit more sporadically; Hoje, Brasil Afora and Sinais do Sim.With their fusion of ska-reggae-rock sound and collaboration with a lot of Brazilian names in music, they have become one of the most important bands in the country’s rock scene. They’re still active playing live shows in Brazil and the rest of South America.Discography:Albums:
