A Belo Horizonte vocal group that blended upbeat hits with melodic ballads in the 2000s.
For their sound, start with 'Viva A Gente', it's the one that caught ears. 'Simples Assim' gives you their cleaner, melodic side.
Capela's 2008 debut album gave Brazil 'Viva A Gente,' a hit that stuck with its upbeat rhythm and tight harmonies. Their songs like 'Simples Assim' and 'Canto Da Sereia' show a range from straightforward pop to softer ballads, all grounded in Brazilian styles. The group also faced real heat after a 2010 political event performance, which brought accusations they had to publicly deny.
They formed in Belo Horizonte in the early 2000s with vocalists like Rosa Passos and Milton Nascimento. After their 2008 debut, they put out albums like Capela 2 in 2011 and Capela 3 in 2015, keeping to their blend of Brazilian sounds. A live album came in 2018, but things have been quiet since.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
