Biography

Banda Paris 400 was a rock group formed in the early 1980s in Rio de Janeiro. The band consisted of Pedro Lu (electric and acoustic guitar), Roberto (piano and moog), Nelsão (bass and acoustic guitar), Antônio (acoustic bass), Zé Bruno (drums), and Zequinha (trumpet).

One of the milestones in Banda Paris 400's career was their participation in the show and album "A Farra da Terra" by the theater group Asdrúbal Trouxe o Trombone. This collaboration demonstrated the group's versatility, as they moved between rock and other artistic expressions.

Although the Cravo Albin Dictionary of Brazilian Popular Music does not extensively detail the band's discography or exact period of activity, their participation in projects like "A Farra da Terra" places them within the context of the Brazilian music scene of the time, especially in the Rio de Janeiro rock scene.
