Edu Gaitaço formed Grupo Marca Tradição in the late 1990s. The band's debut album 'Alma e Coração' came out in 2002, with the title track becoming a popular song. Their music draws from Brazilian traditions like samba and pagode.
Songs like 'Louca Paixão' and 'Bicho Difícil' show their straightforward approach to rhythm and melody. They've kept a consistent lineup with members like Robinho on percussion and Manoel on bass.
In 2011, Edu Gaitaço was involved in a legal dispute over the band's name. The group continued performing and recording after that, maintaining their focus on traditional Brazilian sounds.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
