A Porto Alegre band that built a following through live shows and records like 'Amigo Culto'.
For their mix of rock energy and Brazilian rhythms, start with 'Dia Perfeito'. 'A Alegria Voltou' shows their melodic side.
They came out of Porto Alegre in the mid-1990s with a sound that mixed rock drive with Brazilian rhythms. Songs like 'Dia Perfeito' from their 1999 breakthrough 'Amigo Culto' show that blend, and later tracks like 'A Alegria Voltou' leaned into more melodic territory. They've kept a core lineup for decades while sometimes sparking debate with their lyrics and views.
They formed in Porto Alegre in the mid-1990s and released 'Amigo Culto' in 1999. Guitarist Gustavo Bertoni left in 2004, leading to some public disagreement about the band name, and Bruno moved to lead guitar. They kept making records through the 2000s and 2010s, including 'Todos os Tempos' in 2019.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
