Não Vá

The song *Não Vá* by Só Pra Contrariar, with a duration of 3 minutes and 56 seconds, delves into rhythms that fuse *Pagode* with influences from *Reggae*, *Salsa*, *Merengue*, and *Samba reggae*, reflecting Brazil's rich musical scene. The group, which translates to *Just To Oppose* in Spanish, consolidated itself as one of the acts that led a resurgence of samba starting in 1987, incorporating a variety of rhythms and fusions.

The band, led by singer and composer Alexandre Pires, who also played guitar, was completed by instrumentalists such as Fernando Pires on drums, Serginho Salles on keyboards, Luisinho Vital on bass, and Hamilton Faria with his saxophone. Percussion was handled by Juliano Pires, Luis Fernando, and Rogerio Viana. This musical collective secured a significant contract with BMG International, and their success soared with the release of the song *Cuando Acaba el Placer*. Later, in 1997, they released their fifth album, a work that significantly contributed to their recognition.
