after it was banished from the Federal District. The song was in reference to a statement made by former Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, at the time a Federal Deputy, that the National Congress was formed by some honored men and 300 quacks. The return to easily understandable songs and the pop genre helped the band's comeback to commercial and critical acclaim. This resulted in the best-selling album of their career, with almost a million copies sold. Around the same time, the band invested in overtly produced music videos, for which they won eleven MTV Video Music Brasil Awards between 1995 and 1999. Their first two awards were in 1995 for the video for "Uma Brasileira", winning the Best Pop Video and Viewer's Choice Award. From then on, the Paralamas produced a string of hits, including: "Lourinha Bombril", "Busca Vida", "Ela Disse Adeus", and "O Amor não Sabe Esperar" (a collaboration with Marisa Monte and Dado Villa-Lobos) on their next two studio albums, 1996's Nove Luas and 1998's Hey Na Na. Nove Luas sold 250,000 copies in one month, while Hey Na Na sold the equivalent in just one week. In 1999, MTV Brasil invited the band to record the album MTV Unplugged. Instead of playing their biggest hits, they opted instead for a repertoire dominated by lesser-known songs like, "Bora Bora", "Vai Valer", and "Trem da Juventude". The Paralamas also paid homage to Chico Science and Legião Urbana. Two new songs were also featured: "Sincero Breu", and "Um Amor Um Lugar", originally recorded by Fernanda Abreu. The live album sold more than 500,000 copies, won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Brazilian Rock Album, and resulted in a sold-out world tour. The Unplugged tour was extended until the end of 2000, when the trio released their second compilation, Arquivo II. It featured songs from all the band's albums (except Severino), a re-recording of "Mensagem de Amor" and the new track "Aonde Quer que Eu Vá", the creation of a partnership between Herbert Vianna and Paulo Sérgio Valle. The album also included two major hit tracks by Ivete Sangalo. Afterwards, Paralamas announced a six-month vacation and a reformulation in the sound of the group after nearly two decades of collaboration. The plans pointed to a new rock album. An accident, but not the end On February 4, 2001, tragedy struck the band. A plane carrying Herbert and his
