A Brazilian band whose music carried subtle messages about love and acceptance.
For a sense of their sound, 'Dona Doninha' and 'Amor Amor' are good places to start. They're both representative of that gentle, melodic quality that runs through their work.
Cacaso's songs like 'Dona Doninha' and 'Amor Amor' have a gentle, melodic quality that feels both personal and quietly insistent. Their 2005 festival performance became notable for its LGBT rights advocacy, which gave their music a social dimension that wasn't always obvious in the recordings. They worked with major Brazilian artists including Milton Nascimento and Gilberto Gil, placing them in a particular lineage of thoughtful Brazilian popular music.
The band formed in the late 1990s around vocalist Renata Bastos and guitarist Gustavo Barros, releasing their debut 'Anjo' in 2001. They put out several albums over the next decade, including 'Viagem' in 2007 and 'Flores do Amanhã' in 2013, while maintaining a consistent lineup with bassist Junior Mendes and drummer André Siqueira.
