RPM, an acronym for Revoluções Por Minuto, is a renowned Brazilian rock band synonymous with the rise of rock music in Brazil during the 1980s. Their origins trace back to São Paulo, where they formed in 1983 and quickly gained prominence due to their socio-political lyrics and modern sound. The band consists of Paulo Ricardo on vocals and bass guitar, Luiz Schiavon on keyboards, Fernando Deluqui on guitar, and Paulo Pagni on drums. The group's initial break-up in 1989 did not last long, and they have since experienced several reunions with different line-ups, cementing their status as one of the pillars of Brazilian rock.

Their recent releases, such as "Sem Parar," "Mergulho," and "O Dia," demonstrate RPM's continuous evolution while staying true to their rock roots. Songs like "Luar Neon" and "Promessas" reflect the maturity of a band that has navigated the complex landscape of the music industry for decades. Meanwhile, tracks like "O Sol da Liberdade" and "Conflitos" showcase their enduring commitment to thought-provoking themes and a connection with contemporary issues. RPM remains a highly respected and influential force in Latin music, celebrated for their dynamic performances and their significant contribution to the soundtrack of a generation.
