O Quê

Titãs is a rock band from São Paulo, Brazil. Though they basically play pop/alternative rock, their music has touched a number of other styles throughout their 30-year career, such as new wave, punk rock, grunge, MPB and electronic music. They are one of the most successful rock bands in Brazil, having sold more than 6.3 million albums and having been covered by several well-known Brazilian artists and a couple of international singers. They were awarded a Latin Grammy in 2009 and have won the Imprensa Trophy for Best Band a record four times. Titãs started with a rather unusual line-up of nine members (including six lead vocalists): Nando Reis (bass guitar, vocals), Branco Mello (vocals), Marcelo Fromer (Rhythm guitar), Arnaldo Antunes (vocals), Tony Bellotto (Lead guitar), Paulo Miklos (sax, mandolin, harmonica, vocals), André Jung (drums), Sérgio Britto (keyboards, vocals) and Ciro Pessoa (vocals). André Jung was the initial drummer, but just after Titãs he also quit and was replaced by Charles Gavin, establishing their classic line-up. The band has released their latest album in 2014, titled Nheengatu. Cabeça Dinossauro (Portuguese for Dinosaur Head) is the third studio album by Brazilian rock band Titãs. The album's front and back covers were taken from sketches by Leonardo da Vinci. Cabeça Dinossauro was the first Titãs album to be produced by Liminha, and the first of the band to receive a gold certification in December 1986. The album was a major departure of its two predecessors, the previous two albums were more centered in pop rock, while Cabeça Dinossauro had more punk rock, dance-punk and 2 Tone influences. Most of its lyrics contain contundent critics to the society and its components, such as Tony Bellotto's "Polícia" (criticizing the police), Nando Reis' "Igreja" (criticizing the Catholic Church) and "Estado Violência" (criticizing the lack of freedom of speech, in one of the first collaborations of then-drummer of the band Charles Gavin as lyricist). The song "Bichos Escrotos" had originally been written in 1982 and was supposed to be part of the band's debut album, but it was censored by the Brazilian military government, and the band was thus unable to release it until Cabeça Dinossauro. Even after the song was finally released, radio airplay was still prohibited, but the radio stations were receiving so many requests that they decided to play the song anyway and face the fines afterwards, because it the price was low enough to make it worth the disobedience. In 1997, Bizz magazine elected Cabeça Dinossauro as the best Brazilian pop rock album. In 2007, the Brazilian version of the magazine Rolling Stone elected it as the 19th most revolutionary Brazilian album of all time. In the next year, the remaining members of the band recorded a video for the title song, using images from the movie Vai que Dá Certo. Both the movie and the video will feature Brazilian actors and humorists Fábio Porchat, Gregório Duvivier, Bruno Mazzeo, Lúcio Mauro Filho, Danton Mello e Natália Lage. (web review)
