From Lado B Lado A (1999). Lado B Lado A is the third album by Brazilian band O Rappa. It was released in 1999 through Warner Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for O Rappa's other songs from Lado B Lado A, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
