A Brazilian pair who mixed folk melodies with traditional rhythms in the early 1980s.
For their sound, try "Caçando e Pescando." For a feel of their catalog, "Lá No Rancho Da Viola" works.
They brought a particular rhythmic feel to Brazilian music that came straight from Pajé's approach to traditional instruments. Songs like "Caçando e Pescando" and "Vida de Caboclo" carry that indigenous percussion sound they were known for. Their music even ran into trouble with authorities at one point, which tells you something about what they were putting out there.
They started getting attention in the early 1980s with a self-titled debut that included "Pescador e Catireiro." Later albums like "Carimbó do Brejo" and "Roda Viva" followed, with Cacique handling most of the singing and writing while Pajé focused on percussion and arranging.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
