A Texas-rooted group that found a following in Brazil with songs like 'Clima de Rodeio'.
For a quick sense of their vibe, 'Clima de Rodeio' and 'Solitário do Sertão' frame it well, one's the rodeo hit, the other's a lonelier take on the same world.
They built a catalog that speaks to a specific cross-cultural moment, blending Texas honky-tonk with Brazilian rodeo culture. 'Clima de Rodeio' became an anthem for that scene, even amid later accusations of similarity to another artist's work. Songs like 'Olhai Por Nós' and 'Cowboy Prateado' kept that sound alive through the 2000s.
Childhood friends Marcos Antônio de Souza and Rogério Sousa started playing together in the early 2000s, adding Danilo Reis and Almir Marques to form the band. They played local Texas bars before 'Clima de Rodeio' broke through with Brazilian rodeo fans in 2006. Albums like 'Fenômeno Na Estrada' and 'Dallas Country Acústico' followed, along with collaborations with artists like Gusttavo Lima.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
