Augusto e Gabriel

Augusto Reis and Gabriel Villares met at a local rodeo in Brazil's sertão region, where they discovered a shared interest in sertanejo music. They started playing small-town bars and rodeos, gradually building a local following through those early performances.

Their song 'Em Clima de Rodeio' became their breakout hit, though its lyrics drew some criticism from conservative listeners at the time. The duo continued performing and recording, with Augusto handling lead vocals and songwriting while Gabriel played guitar and provided harmonies.

Their music often drew from rural life and rodeo culture, which gave their songs a particular resonance in the sertanejo scene. They kept performing at rodeos and festivals, maintaining a connection to the settings where they first started playing together.
