A Brazilian group from the late 1990s whose ballad 'Lua' found an audience across Portuguese-speaking countries.
For their sound, 'Lua' is the obvious touchstone. 'Contra a Maré' gives you a sense of their later material.
Their song 'Lua' became particularly well-known, a ballad that found an audience in Portuguese-speaking countries. The group's music blended pop with elements of folk and samba, and tracks like 'Contra a Maré' and 'Meu Adeus' show that mix. They recorded during a specific window in Brazilian pop when labels like BMG were active.
They released their self-titled debut in 1995 and the album 'Lua' in 1996. In 1999, their record label BMG filed for bankruptcy, which left the band without a label for a time before they eventually signed with Universal Music. Lead vocalist Alexandre Nero left in 2006 to pursue solo work, and the remaining members continued performing under the name Encanto.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
