14 Centavos formed in the late 1990s during a period when sertanejo music was gaining wider attention in Brazil. The band's debut album 'Sete Cidades' came out in 2000, and its lead single 'Lembranças' became a national hit. That song, along with tracks like 'Não Tente Esperar' and 'Sua Volta,' helped establish their presence in the genre.
They released several albums over the following years, including 'Sentimentos' in 2002, 'Alma Sertaneja' in 2005, and 'Nosso Jeito' in 2012. The group has worked with other Brazilian artists like Chitãozinho & Xororó and Leonardo. Their lineup includes Fábio Júnior on vocals and acoustic guitar, José Eduardo on guitar, Paulo Miranda on bass, and André Vieira on drums.
In 2012, the band was involved in a legal dispute over song rights. Fábio Júnior has also faced accusations of plagiarism, which he has denied. Their music often deals with nostalgia and memory, themes that have connected with many listeners in Brazil.
