A forró and axé band from Pará whose songs about love and breakups soundtracked a decade.
If you want to hear them at their peak, put on 'Loira ou Morena' or 'Agora Eu Sei', that's the sound that stuck around.
They came out of Belém in 1999 and quickly built a sound that felt like a party, mixing forró and axé with sertanejo hooks. Songs like 'Loira ou Morena' and 'Novo Namorado' were all over Brazilian radio in the 2000s, and their personal story, Joelma and Cleber's divorce in 2005, became part of the band's public image. Even after they went on hiatus in 2016, those early hits still turn up at festivals and on playlists.
They started playing small venues in Belém after meeting at a bar, then released their debut 'Musa do Calypso' in 2001. Through the 2000s, they put out a series of numbered albums and kept a steady presence on radio before the hiatus in 2016.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
