João Penca e Seus Miquinhos Amestrados, also known as J.P.M.A., were a Brazilian new wave band from Rio de Janeiro. Formed in 1977 by Sérgio Ricardo Abreu ("Selvagem Big Abreu"), Marcelo Ferreira Knudsen ("Bob Gallo") and his younger brother Cláudio "Killer" Knudsen, Luís Carlos de Avellar Júnior ("Avellar Love") and Léo Jaime as Zoo, they began their career opening shows for Eduardo Dussek. In 1982, they changed their name to João Penca e Seus Miquinhos Amestrados. Their debut album, Os Maiores Sucessos de João Penca e Seus Miquinhos Amestrados, was released in 1983 by Barclay Records and featured the hit single "Edmundo." The band's second album, Okay My Gay (1986), included notable songs such as "Lágrimas de Crocodilo" and "Popstar," which became one of their most commercially successful albums. They disbanded in 1994 but reunited briefly in 2007 to contribute to the soundtrack of the telenovela Três Irmãs.
