Biography

FLU is a musician that emerged from the underground rock scene of Porto Alegre (the capital of the Southernmost state of Brazil).
In 1986 FLU joined De Falla, one of the most influential Brazilian rock bands. With De Falla FLU (at that time Flavio Santos) recorded six albums, toured throughout Brazil and played in big rock festivals, like the Hollywood Rock, 1993, sharing the stage with Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Nirvana among others.

In 1999, after quitting De Falla, FLU has released by Trama Records (the Brazilian record company responsible for the distribution of Matador and Sub Pop) his first solo album: e a alegria continua and the happiness continues. In this album FLU presented songs mixing electronica, bossa nova, and psychedelic rock. To get the album tours on the road, FLU putted together the band OS DUBEM. In 2001 FLU participated with the songs Suellen and Volache in the album Comp, a compilation by the independent label Muquifo Records.

In 2002, the song Kianka was selected for the compilation National Collection by the hip-hop label Instituto/YB. In 2003, FLUs second solo album came out No Flu do Mundo (The Worlds Flu) released by ybmusic and distributed by Trama Records. FLU also did many remixes of traditional Brazilian musicians, and for movie soundtracks e.g. City of God.
