Fellini

Fellini was a Brazilian rock band formed in São Paulo, Brazil in 1984 by Cadão Volpato (vocals, harmonica), Jair Marcos (guitar), Ricardo Salvagni (drums and percussion), and former Voluntários da Pátria and Smack member Thomas Pappon (bass and occasionally other instruments). One of the most well-known bands of the Brazilian underground scene of the mid-1980s (and having a strong cult following to the present day), Fellini originally began as a straightforward post-punk band influenced by acts such as Joy Division, The Stranglers and The Durutti Column, but would gradually develop a more ecletic sonority that mixed post-punk with other genres such as MPB, new wave and samba rock, acquiring a unique, almost non-descript musical style. Fellini was first disestablished in 1990, but re-established in 2002 until ending again in 2010. A further reunion of the band was announced in early 2016.

Peel was an early supporter of the group when they released their debut album O Adeus De Fellini in 1985 and would often play tracks from the band on his shows. The band's third album 3 Lugares Diferentes has a track called Pai, which features a sample of Peel introducing the band. Cadão Volpato in an interview with the Veja magazine explained that a friend of Thomas Pappom, named Axel, who was a German living in the UK, had a copy of Peel's show introducing the group's song, Outro Endereço, Outra Vida, which he then sent to Thomas who then used it for the Pai track.
