A Rio de Janeiro group that shaped 1960s Brazilian music with hits like 'Banho de Lua'.
Listen to 'Banho de Lua' for their breakout sound, then 'Era um garoto' to hear where they went next.
They started in 1961 with Arnaldo Baptista, Sérgio Dias, Rita Lee, and Marconi Notaro, and their 1966 debut 'Sempre Livre' had 'Banho de Lua,' a national hit in Brazil. Songs like 'Era um garoto' and 'Esqueça' showed their range beyond that early pop success.
The group formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1961 and released 'Sempre Livre' in 1966. By the early 1970s, they were recording tracks like 'Não vá embora sem me dizer' before the lineup changed.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
