97 is a Brazilian duo from Rio de Janeiro formed by Leonardo Macedo and Vitor Bueno. They started making music together around 2012, playing small shows around the city while developing their sound. Their first single, "Teu Olhar," came out in 2016 and found an audience with its gentle harmonies and bossa nova touches.
Since then they've put out albums like "Sete Vidas" in 2017 and "Álbum Novo" in 2021. Their songs "Graça," "Agora," and "Norte" show the same quiet, melodic approach that runs through their work. They've recorded with other Brazilian artists including Iza and Anavitória.
Macedo handles vocals and guitar while Bueno sings and plays bass. Their music sits somewhere between indie pop and R&B, with Brazilian rhythms woven in. They've kept at it through the usual ups and downs of being musicians in Brazil, putting out records and playing shows without much drama.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
