A 1970s Brazilian band that mixed rock with samba and MPB, known for the hit 'Ás de Copas.'
For their sound, start with 'Ás de Copas' and 'Parece Uma Música.' That gives you the rock-samba mix they were doing in the late '70s.
They came out of São Paulo in 1974 with a sound that pulled rock, samba, and MPB together. 'Ás de Copas' from their 1977 debut got big across Brazil, and tracks like 'Parece Uma Música' and 'Porta Retrato' kept that blend going. It's a specific slice of late-'70s Brazilian music, not just rock and not just samba.
The band formed in 1974 with Marcos Sauer on vocals, Edinho Santana on guitar, Sérgio Sampaio on bass, and Robson Jorge on drums. They put out albums like 'Os Intrépidos Sonhadores' in 1978 and 'A Fábrica dos Sonhos' in 1979 through the late '70s and '80s. Drummer Robson Jorge died in 2017.
