The band, formed in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1950s, became one of the most enduring and influential acts of the Brazilian rock scene, known for Portuguese versions of international hits and original songs in the rock ’n’ roll and pop styles of the 1960s and 1970s.

This compilation typically includes well-loved tracks such as:

• Menina Linda (Portuguese version of I Should Have Known Better)
