A Brazilian group known for songs about individuality and change, with a steady lineup and collaborations across genres.
For a sense of their style, 'Bonito É Ser Diferente' and 'O Que Você Pensou Que Fosse a Vida?' frame it well, thoughtful, tuneful, and grounded in that '90s São Paulo scene.
Their track 'Bonito É Ser Diferente' became a notable statement on being different in Brazilian music, and they've worked with figures like Gilberto Gil and Arnaldo Antunes. Songs like 'O Que Você Pensou Que Fosse a Vida?' and '08 de Dezembro' show their knack for reflective, melodic writing. Their music has also popped up in films and TV, giving it a wider reach beyond the albums.
They formed in São Paulo in 1992 with Marcelo Mira, Hélio Flanders, Cleber Almeida, and Rodrigo Maranhão, releasing albums like 'Distintos Filhos' in 1995 and 'Acústico' in 2000. The lineup has shifted some over time, but those four have stayed at the core. Their recordings have appeared in various media, and they've kept collaborating with artists from Gilberto Gil to rapper Negra Li.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
