Carol Porto de Arte is a Brazilian band led by vocalist Carol Porto. They released their debut album 'A Árvore' in 2005, which included the title track that became one of their most recognized songs. Their discography includes albums like 'Canções do Sul' in 2008, 'Trilhas' in 2012, 'Voz e Violão' in 2016, and a live recording from São Paulo in 2019.
Their music draws from bossa nova, folk, and jazz, with Carol Porto's vocals over guitar work and rhythms that suggest both samba and rock. Other songs in their catalog include 'A Família Dedos (Nojo)', 'A Tristeza', 'Astronauta (Alegria)', and 'O Medo' featuring Leo Amaral.
Some critics have found their work sentimental or questioned aspects of their sound, but they've continued recording and performing. The band has included musicians like Marcos Valle on guitar, Chico Pinheiro on bass, and Celso de Almeida on drums at various points.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
