A late-1980s Rio de Janeiro band that mixed samba, pop, and rock into melodic radio hits.
For their sound, start with "Amor de Uma Mulher." For something later, try "Não Acredite" or "Vida de Casado."
Their 1988 debut album's lead single "Amor de Uma Mulher" became a major hit in Brazil, establishing their sound despite some criticism of their romantic lyrics and stage presence. Songs like "Não Acredite" and "Divã" followed that straightforward, melodic style. They weren't reinventing anything, but they caught a moment with that blend of samba, pop, and rock.
They formed in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1980s with a lineup that included vocalists Ricardo Nogueira and Paulo Ricardo, guitarist Ian Carey, bassist Charles Gavin, keyboardist Daniel Azulay, and drummer Mario Fabre. Their self-titled debut came out in 1988, and they kept making music in that vein.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
