Nazaré Pinela was a backup singer at Emílio e a Tribo do Rum live gigs in the 80's. She also is the co-founder of Capitão Fantasma, where she played bass.
Emilio E A Tribo Do Rum played rock’n’roll like nobody else in Portugal during the middle 80’s. Played all around in the country, mixing blues, rockabilly and punk rock. For 3 years they planted the seeds of what would come next, influencing tons of other bands and musicians around, and left a long legacy till today. Formed in 1985 in Lisbon they start their wild and primitive rock’n’roll adventure in 1986 with the complete formation, making a legion of fans all around Portugal. Members were Jorge Bruto, singer; Johnny Freire, guitar; Eduardo Pinela, bass; Tó Forte (1985/6) Miguel Liberato, drums; Annie and Nazaré, back up singers.
In October 1988, after three years of stage life and rehearsals, without a record, Emílio and Tribo do Rum ceased their activity. In November of the same year, Capitão Fantasma was formed, with three members of the former band: Jorge Bruto (vocals), Pinela (who changed from bass player to guitarist) and Nazaré (bass). They are joined by Manolo, ex Crise Total, who takes over the drums. They are a rock n'roll band with influences from rhythm'n'blues, hillbilly or garage bands and they rehearse in the attic of Bar Oceano.
In 1989, the group tours the bars circuit all over the country, playing a furious rock n'roll that begins to gain them a legion of admirers, assuming themselves as a cult band. In August of that year, they participate in the Sines 89 Festival, securing third place in the contest associated to the event. At this time, Oeiras is the drummer of the group, after Manolo's departure. In March 1991 he is replaced by Tiago Sérgio. União proposes them to record their first album, but due to some disagreements with the label, the proposal does not materialise and is put aside when they sign a contract with Polygram which, in May 1992, will materialise in the form of an LP which they will call "Hu Uá Uá" and which will be recorded at Êxito Estúdio by Jonathan Miller with production by Fernando Cunha from the Delfins. This work counts with the collaboration of Luís Sampaio (piano) and Fredo Mergner (guitar solo) and has on the cover a picture of ricardo, the baby son of Pinela and Nazaré.
In 1993, in a full house performance at Gartejo, they introduce a new guitarist, André Joaquim. The following year, Pinela and Nazaré left the band and the band went through a sort of limbo period which was only overcome in 1995 with the entrance of Paulo (guitar) and Hugo (bass).
