The story of independent bands of the Brazilian melodic hardcore scene, from the second half of the 90s to the present day.

To celebrate her 25 years of career, Joelma recorded a special DVD at the end of 2019, in Goiânia, with the biggest successes of her career in Banda Calypso and solo. Contains the special appearances of Xand Avião, Lauana Prado and Ludmila Ferber.

This album features live tracks from Ira's 200 concert in Sao Paulo. This is the first live album released by Ira!, one of Brazil's most popular rock bands. The 20-track repertoire is generous in its extensiveness, and the band sounds inspired. The bulk of the material here is drawn from Ira!'s first two albums. From their debut, De Mudança, which is now considered a landmark within Brazilian rock, there is the punk song "Coraçao" along with others such as "Tolices" (here with a folk music arrangement), "Longe de Tudo," "Como Os Ponteiros de Um Relógio," and a very fine version of "Núcleo Base." From the group's second album, Vivendo e Nao Aprendendo, there is the excellent "Dias de Luta" as well as "Envelheço Na Cidade," "Vitrine Viva," "Pobre Paulista," and "Gritos Na Multidao." The band's sweet breakthrough hit, "Flores Em Você," which at the time made it to the soundtrack of a popular TV series in Brazil, is of course also performed.

The trajectory of the five irreverent boys who conquered Brazil with hits like Pelados em Santos and Vira-Vira was the theme of this special.
