Editor's note

Matogrosso's straightforward Brazilian pop

A São Paulo band that blended samba and bossa nova into melodic, emotional songs.

For a good sense of their sound, try 'Tá Faltando Seu Beijo' or 'Não Troco Você Por Nada', both are direct, melodic pop that shows what they did well.

They took Brazilian styles like samba and bossa nova and worked them into straightforward pop arrangements, not as exotic flourishes but as the foundation. Their 1995 collaboration with Chico Buarque on the album 'Matogrosso & Chico Buarque' brought them wider attention. Songs like 'Tá Faltando Seu Beijo' became hits with their direct, melodic approach to emotional themes.

Matogrosso formed in São Paulo in 1980 with Renato Matogrosso on vocals, Lucinha Araújo on backing vocals, and André Christovam on keyboards. After Renato's cancer diagnosis in 2002 paused live shows, they returned to recording with the 2004 album 'Corações em Fúria.'

Archive material and source history

Matogrosso formed in São Paulo in 1980 with Renato Matogrosso on vocals, Lucinha Araújo providing backing vocals, and André Christovam on keyboards. Their sound pulled from Brazilian styles like samba and bossa nova, but they worked those elements into straightforward pop arrangements rather than treating them as exotic flourishes.

In 1995, they collaborated with Chico Buarque on the album "Matogrosso & Chico Buarque," which brought them wider attention. A few years later, in 2002, Renato Matogrosso was diagnosed with cancer, and the band paused its live shows. They returned to recording with the 2004 album "Corações em Fúria."

Their songs often dealt with straightforward emotional themes. The track "Tá Faltando Seu Beijo" became one of their better-known hits, and other songs like "Não Troco Você Por Nada" and "Cuide de Mim" followed a similar vein of direct, melodic pop.
