One of Brazil's most irreverent bands, This recording has the distinction of being the first brazilian rock recording to become a Platinum album in Brazil, and with good reason: Almost every song on this album is a classic: from the beach crashing anthem "Nos Vamos Invadir Sua Praia", a term which has become part of brazilian national slang, to insightful songs like "Eu me amo" and "Rebelde sem causa" to politicized tunes like "Inutil" and the Reggaeish "Mim quer tocar", Ultraje combine youthful brazilian spunk with wit and pure fun loving rock. The closing track, "Independente Futebol Clube", recorded live in front of a screaming audience is the ultimate in audience participation in a song.

Also worthy of note are the participations of guests Lobao (another well known brazilian rocker) in the title track and the participation of lefty guitar wiz Edgard Scandurra, Later of Ira! fame on another cut. If you're into brazilian rock from the 80's (a socio cultural phenomenon in itself), this recording is essential. Unfortunately, compared to other brazilian bands, Ultraje's releases have been few and far between, which makes the released albums all the more desirable.

This is surely the best rock and roll album ever made in Brazil. And it's not just me saying that, it was recently elected so by over 300 artists and music journalists in Brazil and it has influenced many new rock and roll groups. It's a wonderful buy!
