Formed in Mato Grosso in 1996, they built a following with hits like "Agora" and energetic live shows.
For a sense of their sound, try "Agora" for the early hit and "Meia Noite e Meia" for something later. They're straightforward, danceable stuff.
They came up in the mid-90s with a sound that mixed forró, arrocha, and sertanejo, which was pretty common in their region but they found a way to make it stick. Their 2004 song "Agora" broke through nationally, and tracks like "Meia Noite e Meia" kept that momentum going. They've always been a live band first, known for getting crowds moving, even when some of their choices offstage sparked debate.
They started in 1996 with Emerson Akkari and Daniel Martins on vocals, plus Jean Paulo and Gustavo Maia. After "Agora" hit in 2004, they kept recording through lineup changes and released albums like "Verdades Mentirosas" in 2012.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
