Editor's note

Matogrosso & Mathias, Brazil's enduring sertanejo duo

A Goiânia-born pair who mixed country and romantic ballads into a long-running catalog.

For a sense of their straightforward style, 'Velho Peão' and 'Nós Dois Nunca Mais' frame it well. They're just delivering the songs cleanly.

They formed in 1976 and stuck with a simple, clean approach to love songs and ballads, even when traditional sertanejo circles pushed back. Their 1982 album 'Tentei Te Esquecer' broke through, and tracks like 'Velho Peão' became part of the Brazilian soundtrack. They've put out more than thirty albums without trying to reinvent the wheel.

They started playing together in Goiânia, blending sertanejo with country and romantic styles. After 'Tentei Te Esquecer' in 1982, they kept recording albums like 'Frente a Frente' and 'Dupla de Ouro', with Matogrosso on lead vocals and Mathias on guitar and harmonies.

Archive material and source history

Matogrosso & Mathias formed in Goiânia, Brazil, in 1976. João Batista Matogrosso and Mathias da Rocha started playing together, mixing sertanejo with country and romantic ballads. Their 1982 album 'Tentei Te Esquecer' broke through, with the title track becoming a staple. They faced some early resistance from traditional sertanejo circles but kept working.

They've put out more than thirty albums over time, including 'Frente a Frente' in 1983 and 'Dupla de Ouro' in 2003. Songs like 'Memória' and 'Na Hora do Adeus' became part of the Brazilian soundtrack. Matogrosso handles most of the lead vocals, while Mathias plays guitar and harmonizes.

There have been occasional controversies and rumors of tension between them, but they've continued recording and performing. Their music stays straightforward, love songs and ballads that don't try to reinvent the wheel, just deliver it cleanly.
