Corredor Polonês (Portuguese for Polish Corridor) is the first and only studio album by Brazilian post-punk/experimental rock band Patife Band. It was released in 1987 via WEA, and reissued under CD form in 2001.
The track "Poema em Linha Reta" is actually a poem written by Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa under the pseudonym Álvaro de Campos set to music.[1]
"Vida de Operário" is a cover of Brazilian punk band Excomungados; Pato Fu would more famously cover it as well, on their 1995 album Gol de Quem?.
"Chapéu Vermelho" is a Portuguese-language adaptation/translation of the song "Li'l Red Riding Hood", written by Ronald Blackwell and originally performed by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.[2] The translation into Portuguese was provided by Hamilton Di Giorgio.
Ratos de Porão made cover versions of both the tracks "Tô Tenso" and "Corredor Polonês", while Cássia Eller covered "Teu Bem".
