The so called "King of Pimba" was - and according to some still is - Emanuel, a musician/singer who emphasizes topics such as love and sex in his strongly satirical songs. The "Queen of Pimba" is Ágata, well-known in Portugal as well in the Portuguese diaspora. There is also the "Prince of Pimba", Saúl, who whilst very young performed the Pimba hit "O Bacalhau Quer Alho" ("The Codfish Wants Garlic" - "bacalhau" (codfish) is a slang word for the female sexual organs and "quer alho", when uttered fast, sounds like a Portuguese taboo word for penis).

Another very popular Pimba artist is Quim Barreiros. He started his career before Emanuel, being one of the first, if not the actual first, documented case of Pimba. In most of his songs, Barreiros makes extensive use of ambiguous words, often with obvious sexual suggestions. One of Quim Barreiros' biggest hits was "A Garagem da Vizinha" (The [Female] Neighbour's Garage), which is a metaphor for the female genitalia, but he is also known for hits such as "Mariazinha", where he asks a woman named Mariazinha to let him smell her "codfish".

Some female singers have shown a lot of success in this kind of music. One of them is Ruth Marlene (alternative spelling in correct Portuguese Rute Marlene). Another is Mónica Sintra, famous for songs like "Na minha cama com ela" ("In my bed with her") or "Afinal havia outra" ("After all there was another [girl]"), songs about heartbreak and cheating. Her sound, in 2006, can be described as influenced by Shakira (who directly influences her on-stage moves) and M.O.R. rock, with Latin influences. Another famous Pimba singers are Claudisabel (joinning her two names Claúdia and Isabel), Micaela and Ana Malhoa.

Espécies Em Vias de Extinção

A IUCN é a maior autoridade mundial no estatuto de conservação das espécies. Desde 1963 que a organização publica a Lista Vermelha das espécies ameaçadas, um inventário bastante detalhado do estado de conservação de milhares de espécies. Esse inventário coloca as espécies em 9 categorias, três das quais indicam que a espécie está ameaçada: Critically Endangered (Em Perigo Crítico), Endangered (Em Perigo) e Vulnerable (Vulnerável). A lista mais recente data de 2007 e identifica 16 306 espécies ameaçadas. Seguem-se 3 exemplos de animais que se encontram ameaçados:

Tigre Siberiano (Panthera tigris altaica)

Panda Gigante (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

Lince-ibérico (Lynx pardinus)
