Camisa de Vênus

Camisa de Vênus is a seminal rock band from Brazil, known for their irreverent, outspoken approach and raw energy, which secured them a hallowed place in the pantheon of Brazilian rock music. They first emerged onto the scene in the early 1980s in Salvador, Bahia, with Marcelo Nova at the helm as the lead vocalist and frontman. The band's name, a direct Portuguese translation of "venus shirt," was a daring choice in itself, mirroring the provocative nature of their music and lyrics, which often critiqued society, politics, and cultural norms, resonating with the youth of the period.

Throughout their career, Camisa de Vênus has seen several hiatuses and lineup changes, but their core ethos of rebellion through music has remained unchanged. Alongside Nova, the band's classic lineup included Karl Hummel (guitar), Gustavo Müllen (drums), Robério Santana (bass), and Eduardo Scott (guitar). They achieved widespread popularity with hits such as "Eu Não Matei Joana D'Arc," "Só o Fim," and "Silvia." Despite disbanding in the 1990s, they have sporadically reunited for new releases and performances. Their recent live recordings, such as "Dançando em Porto Alegre (Ao Vivo)" and "Camisa de Vênus no Estúdio Showlivre (Ao Vivo)," showcase their enduring ability to captivate audiences with high-octane performances and timeless rock anthems. Their continued relevance in the Brazilian music scene is a testament to their lasting legacy and the indelible mark they've left on the country's musical landscape.
