Os Maiores Sucessos de João Penca e Seus Miquinhos Amestrados (Portuguese for "The Greatest Hits of João Penca [Banana-Bunch Joe] and His Tamed Apes") is the debut studio album by the eponymous Brazilian new wave band, despite being billed on its cover and title as a greatest hits album. It was released in 1983[1] by Barclay Records.[2]
It was the band's only release to feature keyboard player Cláudio Killer, who died on December 1, 1983, due to an accidental poisonous gas leakage in his apartment while he was taking a shower,[3] and guitarist Léo Jaime, who parted ways with João Penca in 1984 to follow a solo career.[4]
The album counts with guest appearances by Ney Matogrosso, Lulu Santos and Chacrinha.
Every João Penca album features Portuguese-language covers/parodies of old 1940s/1950s rock and roll/rockabilly and 1960s surf music songs.
