Junior e Murillo

Junior e Murillo are a sertanejo duo from Goiânia, Goiás, made up of Dilson Júnior and Murilo Huff. They started playing together in local bars and festivals before their 2018 single "Cuida de Mim" found a wider audience. The song's straightforward melody and lyrics about care and vulnerability connected with listeners across Brazil.

After that initial attention, they kept releasing albums like Algo Atrás in 2019 and Flor do Lácio in 2021. Their setup is simple: Junior handles vocals and guitar while Murillo sings and plays accordion. They work within the sertanejo tradition without much fuss about reinventing it.

In 2020, Murillo faced some public criticism over social media comments, which the duo addressed directly. They've managed to maintain a steady output since, putting out Vives in 2022. Their music tends to stay close to familiar emotional ground, the kind of songs people put on when they want something reliable and uncomplicated.
