A 2000s Brazilian band that mixed samba, bossa nova, and funk with radio hits like 'Danoninho'.
For their sound, start with 'Danoninho', that's the hit. Then try 'Saudades' to hear Henrique's voice working over Lamounier's guitar lines.
They caught a moment in Brazilian music when a São Paulo trio could pull samba, bossa nova, and funk into something that got radio play. 'Danoninho' became a hit from their second album 'Um Novo Balanço', and tracks like 'Saudades' and 'Vou Beijar na Boca' show their blend clearly. Some of their lyrics even drew criticism from conservative groups, which says something about the ground they were covering.
They formed in São Paulo in the early 2000s as a trio with Fernando Henrique on vocals, Guilherme Lamounier on guitar, and Marcos André on drums. They released 'Balança-i' in 2005 and 'Um Novo Balanço' two years later, staying active through the 2000s with those two albums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
