They recorded romantic ballads and samba rhythms, with "Índia" as their most famous song.
For a quick sense of them, put on "Índia." Then maybe "Seja Sincero" or "A Garça" to hear that gentle, romantic samba style.
Their song "Índia" from 1956 is still well-known in Brazil, a durable piece of mid-century Brazilian music. Tracks like "Amor À Quarenta Graus" and "Cabecinha No Ombro" show their knack for straightforward, sentimental samba. They were a fixture on radio and in nightclubs, capturing a certain sound of that era.
They met in Rio in the 1940s and started performing on radio and in clubs. Their recording period in the 1950s and 1960s produced songs like "Colcha de Retalhos" and "A Lua É Testemunha." Cascatinha died in 1982, and Inhana in 2012.
