Editor's note

Cidinho e Doca's Brazilian street-corner samba

A Rio duo whose straightforward songs about joy connected across Brazil.

For their sound, 'Eu Só Quero É Ser Feliz' still says it. 'Meus Direitos' shows the other side.

They came from Jacarezinho neighborhood bars and street corners, then 'Eu Só Quero É Ser Feliz' became a national hit in 1996. Their music blended samba, pagode, and axé, but what stuck was that uncomplicated message in songs like 'Rap da Felicidade'. Even when lyrics touched social issues, the core remained that direct feel.

They started playing locally before releasing debut album 'Só Pra Contrariar' in 1996. Through the late 1990s and 2000s they put out albums like 'Tô Na Rua', 'Bom Astral', and 'Tô Voltando' in 2006, mixing studio and live work.

Cidinho e Doca are a Brazilian duo from the Jacarezinho neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. They started playing in local bars and street corners before releasing their debut album 'Só Pra Contrariar' in 1996. That album included 'Eu Só Quero É Ser Feliz,' which became a national hit in Brazil.

Their music often gets described as blending samba, pagode, and axé, though what really connected was that straightforward message of joy in songs like 'Rap da Felicidade.' They followed up with albums like 'Tô Na Rua' and 'Bom Astral' through the late 1990s and early 2000s.

At times their lyrics touched on social issues, which brought some criticism. But they kept recording, putting out live albums and studio work into the mid-2000s with releases like 'Tô Voltando' in 2006. The duo consists of Antônio Cidre (Cidinho) on vocals and guitar and José Carlos (Doca) on vocals and percussion.
