Brazilian pop band So Pra Contrariar were one of the key bands in the modern pagode pop scene of the 1990s, and spawned the solo career of vocalist Alexandre Pires. Here's a quick look at their work...
So Pra Contrariar "So Pra Contrariar " (BMG-RCA, 1993)
Since these guys have a bazillion self-titled albums, I'll list a few song titles: "Que Se Chama Amor," "Go Back," "Out Door," "Um Dia Do Domingo..." Hopefully this will help sort out any confusion...
So Pra Contrariar "So Pra Contrariar " (BMG-RCA, 1994)
Another eponymous outing. Songs include: "Meu Jeito De Ser," "Voce Vai Voltar Pra Mim," "Volta, Meu Amor," "O Amor, Voce E Eu..." Hope this helps...

So Pra Contrariar "Juegos De Amor" (BMG-RCA, 1999)
Ugh. Super-cheesy modern pop, with a strong influence from the Spanish-speaking world (cheesy romantic ballads, Gipsy Kings-ish flamenco riffs, Spanish-language lyrics on many songs...) It's really pretty horrible.
