Mamonas : Assassinas

Mamonas Assassinas was a satirical Brazilian rock band. Their lyrics, music and live performances were as famous as their tragic end. On March 2, 1996, the plane in which they were flying, crashed into the Cantareira mountain range, near São Paulo. The band's name carries a double-entendre as, in Portuguese mamonas can be either the name of the Castor oil plant, which contains the highly toxic comount ricin or mamas, meaning breasts which were prominently pictured on the album cover. The band mentioned model Mari Alexandre as an influence to the name, and even translated the name into English as "Killer Big Breasts". The musical style of Mamonas Assassinas members employed a humorous mixture between rock and a wide range of styles. They often borrowed elements from other music, among which were the main riff of the Portuguese Vira ("Vira-Vira"), Northeastern Brazilian rhythms like forró ("Jumento Celestino"), Mexican music ("Pelados em Santos"), heavy metal ("Débil Metal"), sertanejo ("Bois Don't Cry"), and even pagode ("Lá Vem o Alemão"). The band started its activities in 1989 without lead vocalist Dinho, in a band called Utopia, performing covers of Legião Urbana and Rush. Soon Dinho was added on and Utopia performed in the suburbs of São Paulo. The band decided to fully embrace the comedy on their music, including a change to a double entendre name. Their first demo was listened by Rafael, son of the artistic director of EMI-Odeon, João Augusto Soares. João Augusto hired the band afterwards. The band's successful 8-month career came to an end along with all band members' lives due to the plane crash. After a show in Brasília, the band was flying to São Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport, in Guarulhos. The aircraft was a Learjet 25. The jet was on final approach to land on the runway but went-around. As it flew around the runway for a second attempt to land, it crashed into the Cantareira mountain range. After the band's sudden end, their label released one live album and one posthumous album. They continued to be very famous in Brazil, and kept being influential to the culture. (web bio)
