The group that started without Dinho was called Utopia and the kind of music was cover. After Dinho got together with the group. Later they realised that the funny songs made more success than the covers.In a certain moment a demo tape was in the hands of a son of a music producer, Joao Augusto, the owner of the EMI. Joao contracted the band in 28/04/1995.
They had very funny songs.Actually they didn’t make one seriours songs all life.
Their famous songs were; “ Sabão cra-cra; Vira-Vira; Pelados em Santos; Robocop Gay; Mundo Animal; Lá vem o alemão; Sábado de Sol;Uma Arlinda Mulher.
They are not alive. They got succesful in less than a year and they sold more than two million copies in less tham eight months.They died in 1996 in a plane crasch in Serra da Cantareira – SP.They were arriving from a show in Brasilia when the plane crashed the mountain, and everbody died.
We chose this group because even ten years after their death, Mamonas Assassinas is still famous and it is impossible not to laugh when listening to their songs.
