The recording of Siderado took place at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, a place that has witnessed countless musical creations. On this album, Samuel Rosa and Chico Amaral, who penned most of the compositions, added collaborations. Among them are those of Marcelo Yuka, known for his work with O Rappa, and Rodrigo F. Leão, from the project Professor Antena. The sonic richness was expanded with the special participation of Daúde on the track Don Blás and the percussion group from Belo Horizonte, Uakti, contributing their talent on No Meio do Mar. Skank, originally from Belo Horizonte, was formed in March 1991. Their journey began with Samuel Rosa and Henrique Portugal, who already shared their passion for reggae in a band called Pouso Alto do reggae alongside brothers Dinho and Alexandre Mourão. In 1991, while preparing for a show in São Paulo, the absence of the Mourão brothers led to the incorporation of Lelo Zaneti on bass and Haroldo Ferretti on drums. Just before taking the stage, they adopted the name Skank, inspired by Bob Marley's song Easy Skanking, referencing a characteristic reggae dance. Their official debut was on June 5, 1991. Although the final of the Campeonato Brasileiro was played on the same day, attracting a reduced audience of 37 people, including Charles Gavin and André Jung, the band felt the connection worked and decided to continue. Their musical proposal sought to fuse the energy of Jamaican dancehall with Brazilian pop tradition. The first album, Skank, was released independently in 1992.
