A vocal and songwriting partnership whose openly gay relationship drew attention in 1980s Brazil.
For a sense of their sound, 'Eu só quero é ser feliz' is the obvious place to start. 'Diga sim' and 'Se render' show what else they could do.
Their music blended romantic pop with samba rhythms, and songs like 'Eu só quero é ser feliz' became widely known in Brazil. They worked as a vocal and songwriting partnership, with Edu typically on guitar and Evandro on percussion. Their music stayed in rotation on Brazilian radio long after their peak.
Eduardo Galvão and Evandro Mesquita met as teenagers in Rio de Janeiro and formed the duo in the early 1980s. They built a following with romantic pop songs and released albums such as 'Saudade,' 'Retratos,' and 'Volta ao Mundo.' Their openly gay relationship drew attention at a time when it was less accepted in Brazilian society.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
