A Brazilian group that blended sertanejo, blues, and rock around the traditional viola caipira.
For a feel of their style, "Tiro E Queda" and "Ressaca" frame that blend of sertanejo and rock with the viola's distinct sound.
They formed in 1999 in a small countryside town, and their sound was built on the viola caipira played by brothers Gustavo and Gabriel Thomaz. Songs like "Tiro E Queda" had lyrics with a wry, pointed edge that resonated with listeners outside the mainstream. Their albums, from "Fora da Lei" in 2000 to "O Livro das Revelações" in 2018, kept that core lineup and texture alive.
They started in Mogi Guaçu with the viola caipira at the center, releasing early records like "Blues Brasileiro Foragido Americano" in 2003. Later albums such as "O Último dos Caipiras" and "O Circo dos Horrores" continued with the same lineup, including Ricardo Vignini on drums and Marcos Paiva on guitar.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
