Charlie Brown Jr. was a two-time Latin Grammy Award-winning Brazilian alternative rock band from Santos, So Paulo. Known for their lyrics laden with social criticism and skate punk/hip hop jargon appealing to marginalized youth, they were one of the most famous Brazilian acts of the late 1990s/early to mid-2000s; their success, though, was frequently overshadowed by controversies and clashes regarding vocalist Choro and his bandmates, his feuds with other musicians, and his struggle with drug abuse. According to a survey made by streaming platform Deezer in 2015, Charlie Brown Jr. was the second most-listened Brazilian band outside Brazil, losing only to Sepultura; in another survey by Spotify, also from 2015, they were placed 31st out of 47 bands and artists.Following Choro's death due to a cocaine overdose on March 6, 2013, the band ceased its activities and its remaining members regrouped as A Banca in April, intending to continue performing as a "tribute act/spiritual successor" to Charlie Brown Jr.; however, A Banca only lasted for five months as their frontman, Champignon, committed suicide on September 9.
