Spanish prepositions

The prepositions of the Spanish language—like prepositions in other languages—are a set of connecting words (such as con, de or para) that serve to indicate a relationship between a content word (noun, verb, or adjective) and a following noun phrase (or noun, or pronoun), called the object of the preposition. The relationship is typically spatial or temporal, but prepositions express other relationships as well. As implied by the name, Spanish "pre-positions" (like those of English) are positioned before their objects. Spanish does not place these function words after their objects; the language does not use postpositions.

Spanish prepositions can be classified as either "simple", consisting of a single word, or "compound", consisting of two or three words. The simple prepositions of Spanish form a closed class, meaning that they constitute a limited set to which new items are rarely added. Many Spanish school pupils memorize the list: a, ante, bajo, cabe, con, contra, de, desde, durante, en, entre, hacia, hasta, mediante, para, por, según, sin, so, sobre, and tras. This list includes two archaic prepositions — so (“under”) and cabe (“beside”) — and it excludes vía (“by way of, via”) and pro (“in favor of”), two Latinisms recently adopted into the language.

Nau (album)

Nau is the only release by Nau, a Brazilian post-punk band founded in 1985 by writer Vange Leonel (vocals), former Zero member Alberto "Beto" Birger (bass), Zique (guitar) and Mauro Sanches (drums, percussion). It was released in 1987 via CBS Records International. The album was critically acclaimed and even got the attention of famous singer Cazuza, who became a fan of the band.

According to former guitarist Zique, by 1989 Nau was working on a second album. Eight tracks were recorded for it, but due to lack of promotion and the decline of appreciation of Brazilian rock during the late 1980s and the early 1990s, the album was scrapped and the group disbanded soon after; CBS would be also disestablished in the following year, since it was bought by Sony. Four of the tracks intended for the unproduced second album were available for streaming at the now-defunct official website for Zique.

"Nau" is the Portuguese word for carrack.
