Maquinarama

Maquinarama is the fifth studio album released by Skank, in 2000.

With Maquinarama, Skank began to move away from the reggae-tinged "party music" that had been a staple of the band for the first four albums. The album sold 350,000 copies.

The song "Balada do Amor Inabalável" was also put to soundtrack album of famous Brazilian soap opera Laços de Família (The family ties).
