Te Amar Sem Medo

The song Te Amar Sem Medo, with its 2:50 duration, is an example of how Só Pra Contrariar fused Brazilian rhythms with global influences. The group, originally from Brazil, stood out for incorporating styles such as Reggae, Pagode, Salsa, Merengue, and Samba reggae, creating a distinctive sound that resonated in the music scene. This mix of genres, which fit perfectly with Brazilian music, was fundamental to their career. The emergence of Só Pra Contrariar coincided with a significant resurgence of samba in Brazil around 1987, a movement that encompassed a variety of groups and rhythmic fusions. Led by Alexandre Pires, the band consolidated its presence in this landscape.

The lineup included musicians such as 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. It was with songs like Cuando Acaba el Placer that they achieved great recognition, sealing their first contract with BMG. Later, in 1997, they released their fifth album, a work that contributed significantly to their consolidation in the music industry.
