Jesus não Tem Dentes no País dos Banguelas
Summary
Jesus não Tem Dentes no País dos Banguelas (Portuguese for "Jesus Has no Teeth in the Land of the Toothless") is the fourth studio album by Brazilian rock band Titãs, released on November 23, 1987. Like its predecessor Cabeça Dinossauro, it was produced by Liminha and featured electronic music experimentations and funk rock influences, besides tackling social issues in its lyrics. Its recording took place at Nas Nuvens studio in Rio de Janeiro and lasted for little more than two months.
It was promoted at the 1988 Hollywood Rock, which boosted the band's popularity. Songs such as "Lugar Nenhum", "Nome aos Bois" and especially "Comida", which became an anthem for student activists, became notorious among the public.
The album was a critical and commercial success, being considered one of the best and most important albums by the band and being certified double platinum by (then) ABPD in 1994. In 2011, it was re-released and made available for digital download the following year.
The band's previous album Cabeça Dinossauro was a commercial success and is considered a Brazilian rock landmark.
Titãs already had their songs ready for the album, but were awaiting the return of producer Liminha, who was in London working with Sigue Sigue Sputnik, in order to commence work in studio on 20 August. The recording began amidst its predecessor's promotional tour, at Nas Nuvens studios. On 24 October, its mixing was finished and the material was sent to Townhouse Studios in London.
The album's promotional pictures were taken at Consolação Cemitery, in São Paulo. One of them, with the members on top of a grave, was featured on the front page of a Folha de S.Paulo issue. Then mayor Jânio Quadros was upset with the photograph and fired the cemetery's manager.
The album was released on 23 November 1987, but it was only performed to the public the following year, at the first edition of Hollywood Rock at Apoteose Square on 6 January and at Morumbi Stadium on 13 January. The band's performance was considered the best part of the festival by Jornal do Brasil while Folha de S.
