A Brazilian duo who mixed bossa nova's aftermath with jazz touches and lyrics that spoke softly.
For their sound, 'Amor Sincero' gives you the harmonies. For their reach, 'Como Um Anjo' is the one that stuck.
They came up in the late 1960s in Rio's Vila Isabel, part of that generation after bossa nova who weren't afraid to fold in jazz and folk elements. Songs like 'Amor Sincero' show their knack for vocal harmonies that felt both intimate and subtly political. Their music found its people among students and artists, even when it wasn't getting heavy radio rotation.
They started playing together in the late 1960s and released their first album in 1971. They kept recording through the 1970s and into the 1980s, with albums like 'O Sol' in 1974 and 'Como Um Anjo' in 1982. The title track from that later album, 'Como Um Anjo', became their most recognized song.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
