In 1995, I created my first webpage. It had everything I liked and did, from games to music, and there was an area where I dedicated a page to my main influences in music, and one of them was Capital Inicial.
When I started the page, they had already lost their keyboardist Bozzo Barretti, vocalist Dinho Ouro-Preto, and failed with a new vocalist. Although Murilo Lima was very good, he wasn’t Dinho. Changing vocals in a band is always very complicated, because it changes its identity a lot, and as is almost always the case, it ends up being a failure.
Since it was the only content about the band for many years, fans from all over Brazil, including fan clubs, and all the members came to me, either directly by email or through the Guestbook. Where I shared news about the band at a time when almost no one cared. I connected the band with fans from all over Brazil.
I was always in contact with them before and during their comeback, when I never imagined they would one day come back. In 1998, they decided to get back together with Dinho on vocals, and they started rehearsing again, where I had the opportunity to be invited to rehearsals and small shows, such as at the now-defunct Ballroom in Botafogo.
I ended up becoming friends with Fê, who also liked electronic music, and we exchanged information about it, suggestions for what to listen to, and we even came up with the idea of an electronic project with him on the internet.
That same year, Capital Inicial released their new album called Atrás Dos Olhos and they started getting back into the swing of things until 1999, when they recorded the MTV Unplugged, which was released in 2000, and they exploded and returned to the mainstream.
But in 2000, my life changed completely. I lost my mother and was left completely alone, and as a result, we didn’t speak to each other for several years. Even so, it was really cool to see my name in the credits of his subsequent albums, such as Rosas e Vinho Tinto, even years later.
With social media becoming more popular, I ended up getting back in touch with Fê many years later. Until 2016, I invited him to participate in the dubbing of my game Call of Duty Rio, and he agreed and it was incredible! He also agreed to participate in the dubbing of the sequel, Comando Rio. Thanks Fê!
