Aeroplano formed in 2008 in Sergipe, Brazil, with Alexandre Carlo on vocals and guitar. Their debut album 'Avião' came out in 2010, and its track 'À Vontade' became their breakthrough hit. The band's lineup includes Rafael Barreto on bass, Vinícius Fiuza on drums, and Léo Costa on keyboards.
Their music pulls from reggae, pop, and MPB, with songs like 'Blasé' and 'Ditadura da Felicidade' showing their mix of laid-back rhythms and Brazilian melodic sensibilities. They've cited influences ranging from Bob Marley to Brazilian artists like Jorge Ben Jor and Gilberto Gil.
While they've faced some criticism about their approach, they've maintained a steady output with five studio albums to date. Their songs often touch on themes of social observation and personal reflection, delivered with the kind of accessible melodies that made 'À Vontade' catch on.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
