Não São Paulo, Vol. 2 is a compilation album released by famous Brazilian independent label Baratos Afins in 1987, one year after the previous installment, Não São Paulo, Vol. 1. Unlike the previous compilation, that featured relatively well-known Brazilian post-punk bands active during the mid-1980s, Vol. 2 brings out more obscure bands (with the exception of Nau, fronted by Brazilian LGBT activist Vange Leonel, and 365, a slightly popular punk rock band from São Paulo[1]).
The album was re-issued under CD form in 1996, featuring four additional bonus tracks.
The lyrics to "Sofro", by Nau, were taken from a poem written by Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (under the pen name Ricardo Reis). "Grândola, Vila Morena" is a cover of Zeca Afonso's eponymous song.
