A Corte formed in Salvador, Brazil in 1993, with Flávio José on vocals, Léo Macedo on keyboards, Guto Oliver on bass, Rony Vianna on drums, and Robson Pinheiro on percussion. Their sound worked with axé music, which pulls from Brazilian rhythms and pop. The song 'Deusa Afrodite' became a hit for them, helping the band reach a wider audience.
They released several albums in the 1990s, including their self-titled debut in 1994 and the 'Deusa Afrodite' album the following year. The band faced some legal issues in 2006 involving a former member, and their lyrics and stage shows drew occasional criticism. The original lineup didn't stay completely intact over time, but A Corte kept performing.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
