Mamonas Assassinas

The Mamonas Assassinas were one of the greatest success of Brazilian pop music. Their lyrics were funny and the vocal, Dinho, achieved success among young people and children.

They were the first Brazilian group that sold 1,000,000 copies of their first record.

The band was composed by four ‘paulistas’ that lived in Guarulhos. The Mamonas Assassinas were first known with the name Utopia in October 1994. With this name they recorded two songs in Rick Bernardo’s studio. He liked their songs and recorded a tape of the group. Their first album was recorded in that year and in March 1996, they started to think about the next disk, but unfortunately it was never made because a tragic accident on Serra da Cantareira ended up their career and their lives. Up till now, the Mamonas Assassinas is a very important band in Brazilian music and culture, and also, they had amused the whole country.
