The story behind
É Bom Demais, according to DoReSol
In É Bom Demais, Só Pra Contrariar invites us on a sonic journey that fuses rhythms like Reggae, Salsa, Merengue, and Samba, creating a distinctive proposal within Brazilian music. The piece, with a duration of 3:42, is an example of how the band managed to integrate these influences to generate its own sound. The group, also known as SPC, was formed in Brazil and was led by singer and composer Alexandre Pires, along with his brother Fernando Pires and other talented musicians.
The band emerged at a time of effervescence for samba in Brazil, a resurgence that broadened the spectrum of rhythms and fusions. Só Pra Contrariar positioned itself at the forefront of this movement. The lineup included Serginho Salles on keyboards, Luisinho Vital on bass, Hamilton Faria with his saxophone, Fernando Pires on drums, and on percussion, Juliano Pires, Luis Fernando, and Rogerio Viana. This combination of talents resulted in a sound that resonated, leading them to sign with BMG international. One of their most notable works was an album released in 1997, which significantly boosted their career.
