9 Luas (Portuguese for 9 Moons) is the eighth studio album by Brazilian rock band Os Paralamas do Sucesso, released in 1996. With this album, the Paralamas definitely abandon their previous new wave/ska/reggae rock style and adopt a more pop rock sonority, however without abandoning the Latino influences.
