Chapa Video Diary
London based Chapa are no strangers to the music scene, having first formed in 1993 in their native country of Brazil where, as child artists, they regularly wowed adult audience members as ‘Solo de Garagem’. In 1995 at the Araujo Vianna Auditorium the young band played to 5000 people.
Signed to Paradox in 1996, the three brothers released their first album ‘Vitamina’ in the south of Brazil (1998) through Antidoto/Polygram Records, which went on to sell 10,000+ copies. They followed this up with similar success with the next album Vitamina 2, before deciding to change their name to Chapa in 2001. This is when the brothers found themselves in Rio de Janeiro and exposed to social poverty in a way they had never known before. Injustice, discrimination, violence and financial poverty surrounded them in stark contrast to what they knew in Southern Brazil and it profoundly impacted Chapa’s future song-writing.
