A Rio de Janeiro band whose straightforward, rhythmic songs like 'Tem Que Valer' carried a natural energy.
If you want to get what they're about, start with 'Tem Que Valer' and then try 'Lua' for the quieter side.
They made music that felt like it came straight from the streets of Rio, mixing samba and rock without worrying about fitting a category. 'Tem Que Valer' became their calling card, a simple, driving track that just connected. Songs like 'Chega Mais Perto' and 'Lua' showed they could dial it back to something quieter and more reflective, too.
Leandro Lehart and Rafael Castro started the band in Rio, releasing their self-titled debut in 2002. The 2006 album 'Tem Que Valer' gave them their most recognizable song, and over the years, other musicians like Felipe Cordeiro and Rodrigo Tavares joined in. Their sound stayed grounded in those early blends of rhythm and melody, without much fuss or reinvention.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
