Ira! is an influential Brazilian rock band that has left a significant mark on the nation's music scene since their inception in the early 1980s. Originating from São Paulo, the band was formed by Nasi (vocals), Edgard Scandurra (guitar), Ricardo Gaspa (bass), and André Jung (drums). The band's name, Ira!, is a Portuguese exclamation for 'anger,' reflecting the intensity and passion of their music, although sometimes assumed to be an acronym for "Ideias, Rock & Arte" (Ideas, Rock & Art).

Over the years, Ira! has been recognized for their unique blend of punk, new wave, and Brazilian rock influences, resulting in a sound that is both raw and melodic, with politically and socially charged lyrics that resonate with many. Despite going through periods of hiatus and changes in lineup, the band has maintained a devoted fan base. Their recent works, such as "O Jogo," "Efeito Dominó," and the live album "Ira! Folk (Ao Vivo em São Paulo)," showcase the band's ability to evolve while staying true to their roots. Their distinctive approach to rock and engaging live performances have ensured their place as a staple in the Brazilian rock music panorama. With a career spanning several decades, Ira! has truly become a fundamental part of Brazil's cultural fabric, inspiring new generations of rock enthusiasts.
