Nove Mil Anjos (translated as "Nine Thousand Angels" in English), also abbreviated as 9MA, was a short-lived alternative rock ensemble originating from São Paulo, Brazil.

History

The band Nove Mil Anjos came into existence in 2008, spearheaded by Junior Lima, known for his previous success as part of the duo Sandy & Junior. Lima took on the role of drummer and was accompanied by guitarist Peu Sousa, who had collaborated with singer Pitty, bassist Champignon, formerly of Charlie Brown Jr. and Revolucionnários, and lead vocalist Péricles "Perí" Carpigiani. The group's name, proposed by Sousa, is said to have been inspired by a dream.

Their first single, titled "Chuva Agora," was initially distributed on Myspace. The band made their live performance debut during the MTV Video Music Brazil awards held in October 2008. Soon after, they relocated to Los Angeles to record their first album, 9MA, under the production of Sebastian Krys. The release was met with mostly favorable critiques.

By the end of 2009, due to artistic disagreements, Junior Lima decided to pause the band's activities. The tragic deaths by suicide of both Sousa and Champignon in 2013 effectively ended any possibility of the band reuniting.
