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.
