Os paralamas do sucesso teer
Cover
The album cover, designed by Ricardo Leite, depicts bassist Bi Ribeiro's brother, Pedro Ribeiro, in a camp at a cerrado area near Brasília, now occupied by a residential condominium. the picture was taken after one week of no shower and limited food. Each camper dressed like a character and Pedro chose to be a "savage", wearing a judo belt and holding a bow given by a native Brazilian and with which they intended to hunt some birds. It was then hung upon a wall in the room where the band used to rehearse at the brothers' grandmother house, near posters of musicians like Alceu Valença, Jimi Hendrix and others.
Even before any song was composed, the band already knew that would be the cover and the character's name would be the title, even though the label was initially reluctant. According to Bi, the objective was "to challenge, provoke, show independence and that we could do what we wanted to do".
Legacy
