A Brazilian band from Rio de Janeiro that started in the early 2000s with Marcelo Mascarenhas as frontman.
If you're new to them, start with "Como a primeira vez" or "Não da mais." Both give you a clear sense of their sound and what Marcelo Mascarenhas is doing lyrically.
They've built a catalog of 146 songs that moves between different Brazilian styles without settling into one lane. Tracks like "Como a primeira vez" show how they handle straightforward emotion, while their history mentions songs like "Amor Igual Ao Teu" becoming known for themes of longing. Marcelo Mascarenhas's lyrics sometimes drew criticism for being unconventional, but the band kept working with their own approach.
Their self-titled debut came out in 2005, followed by "Infinito Particular" in 2008 and "Inverso" in 2013. The songs they're known for, from "Meu Mundo Parou" to "Acabou o amor", suggest they kept writing about relationships and everyday tensions across those years.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
