Harppia
Harppia is a heavy metal institution from São Paulo, Brazil, tracing their roots to 1982 when vocalist Jack Santiago and guitarist Hélcio Aguirra formed the precursor band Via-Láctea, officially adopting the Harppia name in 1983 in tribute to the harpy eagle. Their 1985 debut EP A Ferro e Fogo, released on Baratos Afins, is widely considered one of the first heavy metal EPs of its style recorded in Brazil, with the track Salém (A Cidade das Bruxas) becoming a Brazilian metal anthem. In 2008, the band performed before more than 50,000 people at São Paulo's Virada Cultural in celebration of their 25th anniversary.
