Background notes
Archive material and source history
Cidade Eleita formed in São Paulo in 2001 with Hugo Rafael on vocals and guitar, Fernando Baldaia on bass, and Rodrigo Lelis on drums. They started playing together with little more than a shared interest in making music.
Their first album came out in 2003, titled 'Lágrimas' after the song that would become one of their better-known tracks. The record had an introspective quality that connected with listeners, and they kept working from there, putting out albums like 'Tão Longe' in 2006 and 'Cidade Eleita' in 2010.
Hugo Rafael handled most of the songwriting, and his voice gave the band its recognizable sound. Their music often dealt with personal themes, songs like 'O Encontro' and 'Preciso Abrir Meus Olhos' reflect that inward focus. They were a São Paulo rock band that found an audience without much industry fanfare, just by playing what felt right to them.
