progressive rock band originally formed in 1974 by three school friends, although, because of their ages, they soon disbanded. In 1977 Neto reformed Bacamarte with a new set of musicians and it was this line-up that in 1978 recorded Bacamarte's opus ''Depois do Fim''. Neto was wary of the then popular disco scene and decided that he would withhold the tape and release it at a more suitable time. After being persuaded by a friend in 1982 he submitted the tape to a local radio station; the album itself was then released in early 1983. A second album was released in 1999 from material recorded in the 1980s; this album, ''Sete Cidades'' (Seven Cities) is largely considered a Mario Neto solo work and features only Neto and keyboardist Robério Molinari.
However, the original line up decided to join again for a series of shows, and are working together from time to time using the moniker Bacamarte.
