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.

Raimundos Lyrics
Esse é o bê a bá que eu aprendi lá no sertão
Enchendo a cara de cana e a barriga de pão
Para um melhor resultado eu dei um trato no pulmão
E se o cabra for safado a culpa é do lampião
Eu já conheço as pistoleira e cansei de mulher rampeira
A única que não me cansa é a tal de Maria tonteira
Por ela eu como vidro, subo a nado cachoeira
Se ela vier prensada apertada é mais maneira
Cala boca abestado, deixa de falar besteira
Solução de emaconhado é tapar o sol com a peneira
E quando tu tiver crescido e teu pinto tiver comprido
A vida lhe será cruel (mostrando todas as faces )
(E amargando como fel)
Obrigado, sim senhor, por se mostrar preocupado
Só que essa conversa velha é coisa de bebum safado
Que num fez nada na vida e com essa língua comprida
Só quer atrasar o meu lado
E pra completar a história eu vou chamar um cheira-fundo
O nariz é de batata e a fama é de vagabundo
Ele acredita em besta-fera e também no fim do mundo
Pra vocês eu apresento Raimundo
O meu nome é Raimundo e comigo não tem vez
Se vocês arengarem comigo eu vou lá e mato vocês
Porque eu não penso duas vez só conto até três
Se tu quer saber o que eu faço fale tudo que tu fez
Falo da vida nordestina porque a morte Severina
É sempre o mesmo negócio
Se eu posso logo faço só não faço quando não posso
Menina se eu te pego eu não deixo é nem os ossos
E se perguntarem quem te viu
Enchendo a cara de cana e a barriga de pão
Para um melhor resultado eu dei um trato no pulmão
E se o cabra for safado a culpa é do lampião
Eu já conheço as pistoleira e cansei de mulher rampeira
A única que não me cansa é a tal de Maria tonteira
Por ela eu como vidro, subo a nado cachoeira
Se ela vier prensada apertada é mais maneira
Solução de emaconhado é tapar o sol com a peneira
E quando tu tiver crescido e teu pinto tiver comprido
A vida lhe será cruel (mostrando todas as faces )
(E amargando como fel)

@viciovaca
Descanse em paz, Canisso!
@danielbressanim1814
Em 1994 dps q vc ouvisse esse disco vc jamais voltaria ser a mesma pessoa kkkk
@wilamebraz6273
grande canisso, um dos unico que não mudou quem era nos Raimundos!! esteja em paz
@luisvitor6132
Viva Canisso!
Vim compartilhar minha homenagem aqui com os que também choram, nessa música, porque lembro, nos diversos shows que fui, que ele sempre prolongava essa introdução e era o momento especial dele. Foram momentos marcantes que pude compartilhar com a sua presença, em torno do seu trabalho, sua arte. Grande perda.
@drpaulosclei
vá em paz canisso, vim especialmente nessa música pra lembrar do cara mais gente fina do rock brazuca
@botaoreset3943
Acho dificl o atual quadro dos Raimundos conseguir compor uma musica de rock desse nível.
@nixonrodriguesdefarias
Cara finalmente alguém lúcido, eu concordo plenamente, Raimundos artisticamente acabou, infelizmente acabou, os caras não produzem, não criam, vivem de passado, é triste demais, e o pior é q essa formação é tecnicamente superior, mas é artisticamente morta. É realmente lamentável.
@danielbressanim1814
Cara esse álbum é antológico.... jamais vai ser superado ou msm igualado ....na minha opinião
@doidopelofigueirenseflorip9604
Enchendo a cara de cana e a barriga de pão!!!!!
