Di Carlo & Batista were a Brazilian duo who recorded together in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their version of "Velho Retrato" came out in 1968 and became their best-known song. They released several albums including "Na Terra do Samba" in 1969 and a self-titled record in 1970.
Di Carlo handled vocals and guitar, while Batista played guitar and wrote songs. Their music drew from Brazilian traditions like samba, as heard on their 1971 album "Samba, Samba." They also put out a live album in 1972.
Their recording of "Velho Retrato" brought them attention, though there were questions at the time about the song's origins.
