A Porto Alegre band that mixed Brazilian rhythms with alternative rock in the 2000s.
For a good sense of their catalog, try 'Girassóis' or 'Dia Especial'. Both have that melodic but direct quality they became known for.
They were part of Brazil's independent rock scene when it was finding its own voice, working with a sound that felt both local and loosely connected to international indie. Songs like 'Tema de Verão da Rádio Atlântida' and 'Perto Demais' show their melodic approach with a lyrical directness that sometimes touched on social themes. They collaborated with artists like Adriana Calcanhotto and Arnaldo Antunes, which placed them in interesting company.
Formed in Porto Alegre in 1995 around Dudu Sperb and Marcelo Camelo, they released their debut album 'Invasão Do Sagrado' in 2000. Their early sound took some time to find its audience, but they kept at it with albums like 'Lambada' in 2003 and 'Etérea' in 2006. They worked with a rotating group of musicians throughout.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
