9 Luas (
Portuguese for 9 Moons) is the eighth studio album by Brazilian
rock band
Os Paralamas do Sucesso, released in 1996. With this album, the Paralamas definitely abandon their previous
new wave/
ska/
reggae rock style and adopt a more
pop rock sonority, however without abandoning the
Latino influences.
Main hits of this album include "Lourinha Bombril", "Capitão de Indústria", "Busca Vida", "O Caminho Pisado", "La Bella Luna" and "O Caroço da Cabeça" (previously recorded by
Titãs and released in their 1995 album Domingo).
The song "De Música Ligeira" is a Portuguese-language cover of "De Música Ligera", originally by
Argentine band
Soda Stereo.
