A Brazilian group from the early '70s known for rhythmic samba and songs like 'Não Chora Minha China Véia'.
If you're checking them out, 'Conheço e como' and 'Não Chora Minha China Véia' frame what they did. Both have that rhythmic thing going, plain and direct.
They put out albums like 1977's self-titled debut and 1978's 'O Canto do Povo', with tracks that stuck around. 'Conheço e como' and 'No Barulho do Meu Relho (Lek Lek Gaúcho)' give you a feel for their groove. Their song 'Não Chora Minha China Véia' got known for sketching a poor woman's life, which says something about their reach.
They started in Rio in the early 1970s with Ney Conceição on vocals and percussion, Zé Roberto on guitar, and a few others. They kept recording into the early 1980s, with 'Samba Sem Fronteiras' coming out in 1980.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
