Nando Reis & Os Infernais is a Brazilian rock band founded by Nando Reis. It is the band that plays with him in studio and during live performances for his solo albums. From MTV Ao Vivo on, all albums by Nando Reis started being credited to both him and the band. Around the time of Sim e Não's release, he explained the change: "[...] I write songs and we decide the arrangements as a team. It was a gradual perception [the name change from Nando Reis to Nando Reis e os Infernais], when I realized that I liked to be seen as an artist who had a conversation with the band rather than as an artist backed by a band."

Camisa 10 Joga Bola Até na Chuva is the ninth studio album by Brazilian rock band Charlie Brown Jr. Released on September 26, 2009 through Sony Music, it was the band's only release through the label, their first with new drummer Bruno Graveto, and their final one with bassist Heitor Gomes, who left in 2011 after his contract expired to join CPM 22. Explaining the title, vocalist Chorão said that it came to him after he and his friend, Marcelo Falcão of O Rappa, met during a flight and saw in a magazine a picture of a footballer under the rain; he then thought it was a "fitting metaphor" on how people live their lives. The number 10 is a reference to the fact that it is their tenth album overall if the live release Acústico MTV is counted, and also nods to the iconic #10 shirt worn by footballer Pelé.
