The name Raimundos is derived from one of their greatest influences, the Ramones.
The band was formed in the late 80s by Rodolfo Abrantes (vocals), Digão (guitars), Canisso (bass) and Fred (drums). After doing some demo tapes, they released their first record by Banguela Records:
Raimundos (1994).
Raimundos became popular among the younger audience because of their "weird" appearance and their funny and sarcastic lyrics, full of profanity and slang. They broke into MTV Brazil, making their first hits "Selim" and "Puteiro em João Pessoa".
Lavô tá Novo was released in 1995, and became the most successful act of those days. "I Saw Your Saying (That You Say that You Saw)", one of the hit singles of their records, dealt with a fictitious meeting with Madonna. Other singles like "Esporrei na Manivela" and "Eu Quero Ver o Oco" easily appeared on radios and MTV.
It was followed by Cesta Básica (1996), a rarities album and then Lapadas do Povo (1997). "Lapadas" was heavier than the previous albums, changing the usual "forrocore" style of the band. "Andar na Pedra" became the most known music of the album.
Só no Forévis (1999) became the most sold album of the band, and made Raimundos known by audiences other than the ones which usually patronized them. "Mulher de Fases", "A Mais Pedida", "Me Lambe" e "Aquela" went to the top positions of the charts and MTV. The name of the album was a "spoof" on popular Brazilian music styles (including the members of the band dressed as a "pagode" group).
The last record with the original line-up was MTV ao Vivo, a live album recorded for MTV, with all their hits and some covers. The album included a cover of "20 e Poucos Anos", from brazilian popular artist Fábio Jr.. The song became the theme of MTV's reality show "20 e Poucos Anos" ([loosely translated as 20 something] the Brazilian version of "The Real World"). The song was recorded in studio.
2001 saw the dismissal of Rodolfo from the band. Converted into an Evangelical Christian, he decided to quit the band because his life wouldn't fit anymore with the band itself. He formed in the same year Rodox, a christian rock/hardcore band, like Raimundos, but with more "christian-like" messages in the songs. The remaining members released Éramos 4 (translated as "we used to be 4") in the same year.
The name was directly related to Rodolfo being gone from the band. It included 13 Ramones covers and "Sanidade", song originally recorded in the earlier times of the band, featuring Digão in the vocals. Some people say that the song was included there as an "answer" to Rodolfo.
In the same year, Digão decided to definitely assume the vocals and call Marquinho, who was in the underground band Peter Perfeito. In 2002 the new formation released Kavookavala. Putting into the sound more hardcore influences, the album wasn't so successful as the others, but the reputation of the band wouldn't be damaged. Canisso left the band in 2002, saying that he was tired of being with the band. Alf, vocalist of Rumbora, was brought in to be the bassist.
The last release of the band was an independent EP .Qq cOisAh EP, in 2005. The band still tours around Brazil, showing their hits and new songs, apart from the fact of some fans being more attuned with the original and most famous line-up of the band.
Andar na Pedra
Raimundos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E tinha o peito do pé amarelo
A sola grossa era feito um pneu
Corria sempre muito mais que eu
Andar na pedra, mulek, em cima da pedra
O novo som vem da lapada do povo falando merda
Porque a planta do pé dói mais quando pisa na pontuda
Escolho a mais redonda que chama pedra buchuda
E lá você vai ver a queda d'água e que senhora queda
Lhe peça pra limpar o mau que a tanto tempo assola a terra
Pra saber só quem erra que sangra o pé na subida da serra
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
Andar na pedra que cê seca o pé
Andar na pedra nêga
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
Andar na pedra que cê seca o pé
Andar na pedra nêga
Segura onda, menina, levanta a saia
Eu fico louco ela me enrola e me ensina o rumo da praia
é que o pintor falou que o lado do quadro não tá pra cima
Conserta que isso é mal da parede que contamina
Mais feio que chinela havaiana a farda de cana é brega
O mato vai crescer no samanda que ali nao pega
Rumando a rocha eu sigo a dobra
E deixo a onda vir como ela vier
Agua me leva e é nisso que eu ponho fé
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
Andar na pedra que cê seca o pé
Andar na pedra nêga
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
Andar na pedra que cê seca o pé
Andar na pedra nêga
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
Andar na pedra que cê seca o pé
Andar na pedra nêga
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
The lyrics to Raimundos' song "Andar na Pedra" describe the experiences of a young man who enjoys walking on stones and rocks barefoot. He has tough feet with yellow soles and thick soles like tires, which allow him to run faster than his friends. The chorus talks about how walking on stones is a new trend and a way to rebel against societal norms. The singer chooses the roundest rocks, called pedra buchuda, to avoid feeling pain on the soles of his feet. He walks through trails and comes across stunning waterfalls, asking nature to cleanse the earth of its troubles. The second verse includes a reference to a painter who speaks of the importance of perspective, as well as social commentary on the fashion of wearing sugarcane worker uniforms. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea that walking on stones leaves a mark and is a symbol of resilience.
Throughout the song, the singer uses walking on stones as a symbol of rebelling against societal norms and expressing individuality. Walking on stones is also depicted as a way to toughen up and become resilient. The singer avoids pain by choosing the roundest rocks, showing the importance of making wise decisions to avoid unnecessary suffering. He emphasizes the beauty of nature, with stunning waterfalls and the idea of cleansing the earth. The song ultimately celebrates the freedom of being oneself and challenging societal norms.

Ia pra praia sempre sem chinelo
I used to go to the beach always without wearing slippers
E tinha o peito do pé amarelo
As a consequence, the sole of my foot turned yellow due to the sun and sand exposure
A sola grossa era feito um pneu
The thick sole of my feet was as durable as a tire
Corria sempre muito mais que eu
My friends ran faster than me
Andar na pedra, mulek, em cima da pedra
Walking on stone, boy, stepping on the stone
O novo som vem da lapada do povo falando merda
A new sound emerges from the beat of people just talking nonsense
Porque a planta do pé dói mais quando pisa na pontuda
Because when you step on a pointed stone, the arch of your foot aches more
Escolho a mais redonda que chama pedra buchuda
So I choose the roundest stones and avoid the ones that end up hurting my feet
Caminha pela trilha que leva por outra trilha
I walk the path that leads to another path
E lá você vai ver a queda d'água e que senhora queda
At the end of the path, you will see a magnificent waterfall
Lhe peça pra limpar o mau que a tanto tempo assola a terra
Ask for help in removing the evil that has plagued the land for so long
Pra saber só quem erra que sangra o pé na subida da serra
To find out who is wrong, one must hike up the mountain and endure bleeding feet
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
A sturdy foot leaves a mark on the ground
Andar na pedra que cê seca o pé
Walking on stones can dry your sweaty feet
Andar na pedra nêga
Walking on stones is rewarding
Segura onda, menina, levanta a saia
Hold on, girl, lift your skirt
Eu fico louco ela me enrola e me ensina o rumo da praia
I go crazy as she teases me and shows me the way to the beach
É que o pintor falou que o lado do quadro não tá pra cima
As the painter said, the right side of the canvas is not always up
Conserta que isso é mal da parede que contamina
Fix it, as it is a sickness of the wall that spreads
Mais feio que chinela havaiana a farda de cana é brega
Sugar cane uniforms are tackier than Hawaiian slippers
O mato vai crescer no samanda que ali nao pega
The vegetation grows in places that lack concrete pavement
Rumando a rocha eu sigo a dobra
I round the rock, following its curve
E deixo a onda vir como ela vier
And let the wave come as it may
Agua me leva e é nisso que eu ponho fé
The water carries me, and that is what I trust in
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
A sturdy foot leaves a mark on the ground
Andar na pedra que cê seca o pé
Walking on stones can dry your sweaty feet
Andar na pedra nêga
Walking on stones is rewarding
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
A sturdy foot leaves a mark on the ground
Andar na pedra que cê seca o pé
Walking on stones can dry your sweaty feet
Andar na pedra nêga
Walking on stones is rewarding
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
A sturdy foot leaves a mark on the ground

Ia pra praia sempre sem chinelo
E tinha o peito-do-pé amarelo
A sola grossa era feito um pneu
Corria sempre muito mais que eu
Andar na pedra, muleque, em cima da pedra
O novo som vem da lapada do povo falando merda
Porque a planta do pé dói mais quando pisa nas pontudas
Escolho as mais redonda que chama pedra buchuda
Caminha pela trilha que leva por outra trilha
E lá você vai ver a queda d'agua e que senhora queda
Lhe peça pra limpar do mal que a tanto tempo assola a Terra.
Pra saber só quem erra que sangra o pé na subida da serra.
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
Andar na pedra que cê seca o pé
Andar na pedra nêga
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
Andar na pedra que cê seca o pé
Andar na pedra nêga
Segura a onda, menina, levanta a saia
Eu fico louco ela me enrola e me ensina o rumo da praia
É que o pintor falou que o lado do quadro não tá pra cima.
Conserta que isso é mal da parede que contamina.
Mas feio do que chinela havaiana a farda de cana é brega
O mato vai crescer no Samanda que ali não pega.
Rumando a rocha eu sigo a dobra
E deixo a onda vir como ela vier
Água me leva e é nisso que eu ponho fé
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
Andar na pedra que cê seca o pé
Andar na pedra nêga
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
Andar na pedra que cê seca o pé
Andar na pedra nêga
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão
Andar na pedra que cê seca o pé
Andar na pedra nêga
Carcaça grossa deixa a marca no chão

Fui num dos últimos shows com o Rodolfo, eu tinha 17 anos. Lembro até hoje
@ewertonalmeida2855
Tmj pai, eu tenho 27, acho que você foi privilegiado por já ser maior quando essa banda tava no auge. Pra mim é de longe a melhor banda do mundo!! Fui a um show aqui em Maceió e já era o Digao no vocal, e foi foda pra caralho, ainda falei com o velho canisso, que Deus o tenha. O bagui era Loko com o Rodolfo, mas ele também fez uma ótima escolha. No fim, essa banda é foda!!
