about
For brother's Renato and Eduardo Pimentel the idea of knocking down the stigma that instrumental music is elitist, turning its back to everyone but musicians and eccentric music lovers, started to become a reality in January, 1993. At the historical city Laguna, in Santa Catarina, they recorded a demo tape with 5 tracks. At that time, Brasil Papaya was still a dream in the guitarists heads. In February, 1994, the band gives it's first performance with Bruno Ghizoni (drums) and Fernando Braga (bass). Right from the beginning, Brasil Papaya (now in Florianopolis) began breaking down those barriers. For the first time in Santa Catarina, an instrumental band takes the stage in a cover bands' festival, reaching second place among 25 competitors. The fame of these four musicians, that dared to mix the orthodox and the heavy metal with more popular rhythms such as "chorinho", always sounded rock'n'roll without seeming ridiculous or arrogant, came out from the "catarinense" underground and caught the attention of other musicians and fans alike. Fernando left the band, creating an opening for Adriano "Baga" Rotini. It was about time for the next defining step and in July, 1996, the band spent 40 days in Sao Paulo, at Creative Sound studio realizing the dream of making their first album. Following the traditions of their rock idols, the musicians use only the band´s name for their work. In November, 1996, without having released their album, Brasil Papaya shoots its first video clip
