Ed Marques e Alessandro

Ed Marques e Alessandro are a Brazilian duo from São Paulo. Their 2006 single "60 Dias Apaixonado" became a hit, connecting with listeners through its straightforward emotional pull. They've released several albums since then, including Um Amor de Verdade in 2007 and Acústico in 2009.

Their catalog includes songs like "A Majestade e o Sabiá" and "Amanhecer No Sertão," which fit within the familiar territory of Brazilian romantic and sertanejo music. The duo writes and performs their own material, with Alessandro Moreira handling guitar alongside vocals.

While some critics questioned their approach early on, they kept recording through the 2010s with albums like Pra Sempre and Nosso Mundo. Their music doesn't reinvent the form so much as deliver it reliably to an audience that responds to its directness.
