Folque formed in Porto Alegre in 1969, with Luiz Carlos Borges, Renato Borghetti, and Bebeto Alves drawing from sertanejo and gaucho traditions. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1973, followed by records like 'Caminhos Cruzados' in 1975 and 'Chico Mineiro' in 1976.
Renato Borghetti handled most of the vocals and songwriting through various lineup changes. Songs like 'Harpa' and 'Heming Og Gyvri' show their approach to folk material, while 'Skjøn Jomfru' reflects their interest in traditional melodies.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
