A Rio trio blending mermaid tales with Afro-Brazilian rhythms since the late 1990s.
For a quick sense of them, try 'Part Of Your World' or 'If Only', both have that watery, harmonic feel they do so well.
They took their name from mermaid stories, and that marine imagery runs through songs like 'Part Of Your World' and 'Encontro No Mar'. Their sound mixes samba, bossa nova, and jazz into something ethereal, and they've kept at it for years without chasing trends. You can hear it on albums from 'A Pequena Sereia' in 2000 to 'Encanto' in 2014.
They formed in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1990s with Andreia Dias on vocals, Larissa Luz on percussion, and Pedro Sá on guitar. Their albums like 'Mar de Dentro' in 2002 and later 'Onda Azul' in 2011 stuck to that blend of samba and bossa nova, even when critics called it too commercial. They played festivals like Womad and Montreux Jazz, and their music popped up in films and TV.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
