A Rio band that mixed samba rhythms and rock guitars for decades, anchored by hits like 'Dorival'.
For their sound, try 'Carro do Gás' or 'O Sonho e a Dor'. They give you the Brazilian rhythms and the rock guitars in one go.
They arrived in the mid-80s with 'Sem Vergonha de Ser Feliz' and a national hit in 'Dorival'. Their catalog, from 'Carro do Gás' to 'O Sonho e a Dor', blends Brazilian styles with lyrics that often touch on social themes and personal struggles, which has drawn both criticism and a loyal following. They've kept that mix going for years.
Formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1983, they released their debut album three years later. The core lineup has included Lulu Santos, Sérgio Britto, Dadi Carvalho, and Beto. They've continued performing and recording, with songs ranging from samba-influenced tracks to more introspective material.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
