A 1980s-formed group whose ballad 'Saudade' became widely known across Brazil.
For a quick sense of them, 'Saudade' is the obvious touchstone, but 'Políticos' gives you a different angle. Both are pretty direct.
Their 1991 ballad 'Saudade' became one of those songs that just stuck around in Brazil, appearing on the album 'Cabeça Dinossauro' and getting passed around for years. Beyond that single, their catalog includes tracks like 'Políticos' and 'Sem Medo' that show a band with a straightforward pop rock sound and some social commentary. They recorded an MTV acoustic session in 1997 and kept putting out records into the 2010s, which suggests they maintained a steady presence.
They formed in Porto Alegre in 1985 and released their self-titled debut in 1989. The early '90s brought albums like 'Cabeça Dinossauro' and 'Quem Tem Medo de Brinquedo Não Vai ao Parque', followed by later work including 'Nordeste Plaza Hotel' in 2000 and their most recent studio album 'Todo Mundo Vai Sofrer' in 2017.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
