Editor's note

Jacó e Jacozinho, Brazilian brothers from Paraíba

A duo whose straightforward rural songs like 'Degrau da Fama' connected with listeners in the 1970s.

For a quick sense of their style, try 'Degrau da Fama' or 'A Capa do Viajante'. They're both straightforward and have that rural Brazilian feel.

Their music has a plain, rural feel that stuck around. Songs like 'Degrau da Fama' and 'Menina Moça' still get played on Brazilian radio stations that feature older sounds. 'A Capa do Viajante' became their most recognized track, with its simple melody about travel.

They started recording in the early 1970s, with a debut album in 1972. They kept putting out albums through the 1980s, including 'Romance do Vaqueiro' in 1975 and collections of other songwriters' work.
