Os Paralamas Do Sucesso in Leopoldina

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.
