Lulu Santos, stage name of Luiz Maurício Pragana dos Santos (Rio de Janeiro, May 4, 1953) is a Brazilian singer and guitarist, considered one of the great names of Brazilian rock.[who?]
Beginning in the progressive band Vímana, Lulu left the band and embarked on a solo career that produced several hits, such as "Tesouros da Juventude" (a tribute to John Lennon, written with Nelson Motta), "De Repente Califórnia", "Tempos modernos", "Adivinha o quê", the smash hit "Como uma Onda (Zen-surfismo)", another Lulu Santos/Nelson Motta partnership and "Um certo alguém". The 1984 album Tudo Azul brought the hits "O último romântico" (whose instrumental arrangement was heavely based on George Harrison's song "Greece", from the 1982 album Gone Troppo), "Certas coisas" and the title track.[1]
In 1986, the album Lulu had "Casa" and "Um pro outro". Lulu sold 250,000 copies.[1] The 1988 album Toda Forma de Amor had the optimistic song "A Cura" (with the lyrics "In every port will fly/the old flag of life/In every lighthouse will burn/a glimmer of hope...Strongly defying the notion/That hell is here/There will be/Every race will experience/The cure for all evils". "A Cura" was the most played song in FM radio in the year.[1]

Boa, BoA, or BOA may refer to:
Boa is the debut album by the Croatian and former Yugoslav eponymous rock band. It was released in 1982.
Boa is a Croatian music group, which was especially prominent during the 1980s around the former SFR Yugoslavia.
The band's early history started in Zagreb, then SR Croatia in 1974, when its founding members Mladen Puljiz and Slavko Remenarić, switched their interest from classical music to rock music, inspired by art rock acts such as Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, David Bowie, Roxy Music and Peter Gabriel.
The group started its concert activity in 1979 with a line-up consisted of: Mladen Puljiz (keyboards, vocals), Slavko Remenarić (guitar), Igor Šoštarić (drums) and Damir Košpić (bass guitar). The band moved towards the then actual New Romantic sound and fashion and after the release of their debut album for Suzy in 1982, they were voted by the readers of the prominent Yugoslav musical magazine Džuboks as the best upcoming act of the year.
Their next album Ritam strasti (Rhythm of passion) followed by around a hundred concerts around former Yugoslavia brought them even higher popularity. Despite the fact that their next album Govor tijela (Body language) included some successful hits, the band fell into creative crisis and thus the group halted its activities until 1989 when the group got a new rhythm section consisted of the drummer Paolo Sfeci (former member of Aerodrom and Parni valjak) and the bass player Zvonimir Bučević (prominent session musician).
Eu sei a hora que você acorda
Já conheço a sua rotina
Não esteja de tocaia
Mas é que nosso tempo combina
Se te flagro na piscina
Massageia minha retina
Te devasso sem fissura
Há que endurecer sem perder a ternura
De manhãzinha na sacada
Com uma xícara de café
Os cabelos em desalinhos
Tão carente tsc, tsc, tsc
Cobertura 04
Mensagem pra você
Nesses dias tão vazios
Não tem nada na TV
Cobertura 04
Fingindo que não vê
Minha janela indiscreta
Bem aqui de frente
Se você sai pro trabalho
Então o meu dia termina
E depois só recomeça
Quando sua luz se ilumina
Sua casa não tem paredes
Nem seu quarto de dormir
Sua coberta não te cobre
Feche bem os olhos
E tente dormir
