Os Paralamas Do Sucesso & Nonpalidece in Buenos Aires

Os Paralamas Do Sucesso are a Brazilian rock trio formed in 1982 and built around Herbert Vianna, Bi Ribeiro and João Barone. Their music pairs guitar rock with ska and reggae rhythms, and their best-known songs include “Meu Erro,” “Óculos,” “Alagados” and “Lanterna dos Afogados.” The albums O Passo do Lui and Selvagem? established much of this repertoire. At the inaugural Rock in Rio in 1985, the band performed for an audience far beyond the clubs where it had begun. Two years later, Os Paralamas Do Sucesso appeared at the Montreux Jazz Festival, and that performance became the live album D. In 2007, they joined Titãs at Marina da Glória for the concert project Paralamas e Titãs Juntos e Ao Vivo. The band plays most often in Brazil and also performs in Argentina and Chile.

Nonpalidece is an Argentine reggae band formed in Tigre in 1996. The group plays Spanish-language roots reggae and reggae rock, and is known for the album Hagan Correr la Voz and songs including “La Flor,” “Tu Presencia” and “En el Aire.” In 2016, Nonpalidece marked its 20th anniversary at Luna Park in Buenos Aires. Its festival history also includes performances at Cosquín Rock in Argentina and Vive Latino in Mexico City.
