A Festa dos Micos (Portuguese for "The Party of the Apes") is a compilation album by Brazilian new wave band João Penca e Seus Miquinhos Amestrados. It was released in 1993[1] by Leblon Records.[2] It was the band's last release prior to their break-up one year later.

The compilation contains some of the band's most famous hits, ranging from their 1983 debut album to their latest release, 1990's Cem Anos de Rock n' Roll, as well as some re-recordings and previously unreleased tracks.

Background

The track "Rock da Cachorra" is not a song by João Penca themselves, but by Brazilian singer Eduardo Dussek in which João Penca only guest-appeared. It is originally present on Dussek's 1983 album Cantando no Banheiro.

"O Superstar", one of the new songs by João Penca present on the compilation, is a Portuguese-language version of Neil Sedaka's "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do".

The album's opening track is a short piece influenced by Eumir Deodato's "Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001)", and its use as the album's first track alludes to the fact that Elvis Presley, one of João Penca's major influences, constantly used Richard Strauss' original version of the song as an opening fanfare to his shows in the 1970s.
