Ciro Pessoa Biography

Ciro Pessoa is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on June 12, 1957 in São Paulo, Brazil. Ciro Pessoa was born Sao Paulo on June 12 in 1957. At the age of seven old, he started learning to play the guitar classically. At the age of twelve when he started to play, he began participating at music festivals throughout the city. In his teens He attended the Colegio Equipe, where he was able to meet Arnaldo Anunnas, Paulo Miklos, Nando Reis, Marcelo Fromer, Branco Mello, Tony Bellotto and Sergio Britto.

He joined the band in 1984. was a part of the Cabine C which was one of Brazil’s first and popular gothic rock bands with his wife Wania Forghieri. Edgard Scandurra from Ira!, Sandra Coutinho of Mercenarias (who would later quit the group and be replaced by Ira! band member Ricardo Gaspa) and Charles Gavin. They recorded a couple of songs and played shows with this group however, except for Pessoa and Forghieri everyone would eventually leave the group afterward, so that they could concentrate on their own projects. Scondurra Gaspa as well as Gavin would be replaced by the former Akira S. e as Garotas que Erraram members Anna Ruth dos Santos and Marinella Setti. With the new lineup, Cabine C released their debut (and their only) album Fosforos de Oxford which was released in the year 1986. However, despite being well- received by public and critics alike however, it was not a success commercially. The group would eventually come to the end of their career in 1987 because of judicial issues with their label RPM Discos, which was created and operated by Paulo Ricardo and Luiz Schiavon of the band named after them. Before their breakup in 1987, Cabine C was developing a new album, to be titled Cotonetes Desconexos; four songs were recorded already for the album, however the album was eventually removed.

In the mid-1990s, Pessoa formed another short-lived project, Ciro Pessoa & Ventilador, alongside former CPSP bandmates Kiko Nogueira and Fábio Scattone, and new members Tchelo Nogueira (Kiko’s brother), Laudir de Oliveira, Serjão and Boris. It retained CPSP’s pop rock sonority, albeit adding more experimental elements. They recorded an album, Batuca Aqui, in 1996, but it was only released in 2019.

As the 1990s went by, Pessoa wrote some songs which would eventually be performed by Ira!, such as “Efeito Bumerangue”, “Tantas Nuvens”, “A Natureza Sobre Nós”, “Mistério”, “Correnteza” and “Inundação de Amor” (which he originally co-wrote with Júlio Barroso of Gang 90 e as Absurdettes for Cabine C in the early 1980s, prior to Barroso’s death), and in 1990 he formed Ciro Pessoa e Seu Pessoal (“Ciro Pessoa and His Personnel”), or CPSP for short, alongside Kiko Nogueira, Roger “Vapt-Vupt” Lima, former Ira! member Fábio Scattone and Abrão Levin. Contrasting with the dark, gothic sound Cabine C had developed, CPSP moved towards a brighter and more pop rock-inflected direction which was, according to Pessoa, influenced by Jovem Guarda singers such as Odair José, Roberto Carlos and Jerry Adriani. They never recorded any albums, but toured extensively around the state of São Paulo before disbanding. Pessoa also began writing some articles, travel accounts and prose poems for some magazines and newspapers around this time, such as Playboy, the Folha de S.Paulo and its weekly magazine, Superinteressante, Galileu, VIP and Viagem e Turismo; “Caminho Afora” (2002) and “O Mundo dos Sonhos” (2004), two travel accounts he wrote for the latter, the first one regarding the Camino de Santiago, were awarded the Prêmio Abril de Jornalismo. Most of Pessoa’s articles and poems are compiled on his official WordPress blog, “O Mundo de Mantraman”, as well as on his Tumblr page.

They were bonded by the same music preferences of Antunes Miklos, Reis, Fromer, Mello, Bellotto, and Britto in 1981, they formed along with Andre Jung, the rock group Titas do Ie-Ie, which was changed to Titas afterward. Pessoa did not record anything with Titas during his time as a member, but he wrote several of the group’s most popular songs, including “Sonifera Ilha”, “Toda Cor”, “Homem Primata” and “Babi Indio”, among other songs. He quit Titas in 1983 due to divergences in his creative process that culminated in a fight among him and Andre Jung. Then, Pessoa formed two concomitant new groups: Os Jetsons, with Branco Mello and Charles Gavin, and Ricotas do Harlem which was a soul duo featuring Fernando Salem. Both bands were inactive, and did not make any recordings or play any shows.
