context_page_description: Charlie Brown Jr. was a two-time Latin Grammy Award-winning Brazilian alternative rock band from Santos, São Paulo. Known for their lyrics laden with social criticism and skate punk/hip hop jargon appealing to disenfranchised youth, they were one of the most famous Brazilian acts of the late 1990s/early to mid-2000s; their success, though, was frequently overshadowed by controversies and clashes regarding vocalist Chorão and his bandmates, his feuds with other musicians, and his struggle with drug abuse. According to a survey made by streaming platform Deezer in 2015, Charlie Brown Jr. was the second most-listened Brazilian band outside Brazil, losing only to Sepultura; in another survey by Spotify, also from 2015, they were placed 31st out of 47 bands and artists.
  Following Chorão's death due to a cocaine overdose on March 6, 2013, the band ceased its activities and its remaining members regrouped as A Banca in April, intending to continue performing as a "tribute act/spiritual successor" to Charlie Brown Jr.; however, A Banca only lasted for five months as their frontman, Champignon, committed suicide on September 9.
context_section_description: Camisa 10 Joga Bola Até na Chuva, Charlie Brown Jr.'s ninth album and second one to win the Latin Grammy Award in 2010, was also their final release with Heitor Gomes, who left in 2011 to join CPM 22. "Só os Loucos Sabem" became one of the band's highest-charting hits, and "O Dom, a Inteligência e a Voz", originally written by Chorão for Cássia Eller in 2001, was intended to be recorded by Eller for her album Dez de Dezembro, but she died before she could do so.
  In 2011 Chorão announced that Marcão and Champignon would be returning to the band after six years away, and in the following year, their first recording under this new line-up, Música Popular Caiçara, was released, under CD, DVD and Blu-ray formats. Recorded during two gigs in 2011, one in Curitiba and the other in Santos, it was produced by Liminha and directed by KondZilla. The DVD and Blu-ray versions came out first; the CD version was split in two volumes, the first of which was released concomitantly with the DVD and Blu-ray versions. The second volume was only released four years later, in 2016.
  It was also by 2011 when Chorão's drug abuse issues began to take their toll on his life and health, causing his divorce with long-time companion Graziela Gonçalves, whom he affectionately nicknamed "Grazon"; the song "Céu Azul", present in Música Popular Caiçara, was written for her following the event.
