Fize is a Brazilian rock band from Recife that formed in the late 1990s. Their song "O Jogo" became the official anthem of the Brazilian national soccer team in 2002, which gave them their biggest moment of recognition.
Their music includes tracks like "Noite Sem Fim" and "Sereia," and they've worked with artists including Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. The band's lineup has featured Chico César on vocals and guitar, Fernando Catatau on bass, and Pupilo on drums.
In 2006, their record label went bankrupt, leaving them without a label for a few years. There was some debate in 2011 about whether "O Jogo" was still fitting as the national team's theme song, but the track had already cemented its place in Brazilian soccer culture.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
