Capital Inicial

The story of Capital Inicial begins before their first formation, in 1982. Their members came from Blitz 64 and Aborto Elétrico- Brazilian bands that appeared in the 70’s and 80’s, which had punk influence, and disclosed the real Brazilian rock.



















They played in the Federal capital streets, but the name didn’t come from Brasilia.
They didn’t have money enough to begin the band, they didn’t have the initial capital (in Portuguese: Capital Inicial).

In July of 1982, the guitarist Loro Jones, who played with Gutje – Plebe Rude- in Blitz 64, invited their brothers Fernando (drums) and Flávio Lemos (bass) to join Capital. Both played with Renato Russo in Aborto Elétrico. Heloísa, one friend of them, came to sing, but left the group in 1983. That happened when Dinho, a fan of Aborto Elétrico and former-friend of Dado Villa-Lobos and Marcelo Bonfá in the band "dado e o reino animal", joined the band.




















After the band launched their fifth album, the keyboard player Bozzo Barreti left Capital, in 1992, and in the next year Dinho left the band too. It seemed that it would be the end, but Murilo Lima (ex- Rucula band) entered the band in the vocals.

After years, in 1998, Capital came back with their original formation: Dinho, Loro, Flávio and Fê, and they organized a celebration for the 15 years of the band and for the 20 years of the authentic and vigorous rock of Brasilia.






















In 2001, tired of the excess of trips and some arguments about the routes of the band, the guitarist Loro Jones got out of the band. Loro was replaced by Fred Nascimento (Legiao Urbana).

Now, Capital Inicial is preparing their new album. That will be announced.

For me, Capital is the best band in the world, because their songs talk about everything, like: love, politics and a lot of subjects.

If you want to know more about Capital Inicial songs, buy their album: "Capital Inicial Acoustic", "Rosas e Vinho Tinto" and "Gigante".
