Canto dos Malditos na Terra do Nunca, abbreviated CMTN, is a Brazilian alternative rock band known for the deep voice of the female vocalist, Andréa Martins, and for their songs, which combine poetic lyrics and heavy guitars. After initial success, including heavy rotation of "Olha Minha Cara" on MTV Brasil and a "Best New Artist" nomination, they disbanded, but reunited in 2012 and have gone on tour.

From a young age, Andréa wrote music, saying "I wrote some things, and sang. When I learned to play guitar, I felt I had to write what came into my head." The band formed in 2003. The name of the band (literally, "Song of the Damned in Neverland") is a double homage: to the book Canto dos Malditos, by Austregésilo Carrano Bueno (which inspired the film Bicho de Sete Cabeças); and to Neverland (Portuguese: A Terra do Nunca) of Peter Pan (by Scottish author J. M. Barrie), an imaginary world where reality and fantasy combine. After recording two EPs, opening for Placebo, and appearing on Banda Antes on MTV Brasil, the band finally launched its self-titled studio debut. Canto dos Malditos na Terra do Nunca was released in October 2006 by Warner Music. The twelve tracks were written by Andréa (one co-written by Helinho), and produced by Carlos Eduardo Miranda and Tomaz Magno. The album combined the songs from their two EPs, along with two new tracks, one of them being "Descansar" (English: Rest), with participation by Andréa's brother, Ronei Jorge. The lyrics about doomed love, the deep female vocals, and bustling feedback combined on stages throughout the country, leading to a nomination for MTV Brasil's Best New Artist for 2006 for the video "Olha Minha Cara" (English: Look at My Face). In addition to the nomination, it was one of the most requested songs for three months on the network.
