Finis Africae

This vocal/instrumental rock group was formed in Brasília (Distrito Federal) in 1984 by Rodrigo Leitão (vocals), José Flores (guitar), Neto Pavanelli (bass/keyboards), and Ronaldo Pereira (drums/percussion). With affects of English rings like Joy Department and the Get rid of, the Finis Africae shortly were starting for Legião Urbana and Plebe Rude. Having contained in the compilation “Rumores” (1985) the tracks “Truck Gogh” and “Ética,” the music group got good testimonials and was asked to record their initial solo record, the six-track mini-LP Finis Africae. Simply after that, Rodrigo Leitão was changed by Eduardo Moraes on the vocals. By using Renato Russo, EMI agreed upon with them in 1987, launching in the same season the LP Finis Africae, which marketed 40,000 copies. Within the next season, Pavanelli and Flores had been changed by Roberto Medeiros (bass), Macintosh Gregor (keyboards), and César Nine (electric guitar), as well as the music group followed with this development until 1990. From that season until 1999, they suspended actions, starting in 2000 the Compact disc Maxi-Single (with remixes of their outdated strikes) and executing on the Anos 80 Rock and roll Brasil task in 1999 and 2000, as well as other bands from the Brazilian rock and roll from the ’80s such as for example Hojerizah, Violeta de Outono, No, and Uns e Outros. Throughout their profession, Finis Africae got success with these tracks and “Armadilha,” “Máquinas,” “Mentiras,” “Question the Dirt,” and “Deus Ateu.”
