Two musicians from Rio who turned acoustic sets into a string of albums and hits.
For a good sense of their sound, try 'Chutando a solidão' or 'A Dona do Meu Coração'. They're both pretty straightforward, no-nonsense tracks that show what they do.
They've built a catalog that feels like a steady, reliable presence in Brazilian pop. Songs like 'Chutando a solidão' mix samba rhythms with straightforward pop melodies, and their debut single 'Bijuteria' was a hit back in 2012. They've kept at it, putting out records every few years without much fuss.
Maycon dos Santos and Renato Andrade met at a festival in Rio in 2007, started playing acoustic sets, and formed the duo. Their debut album came in 2013, and they've released several since, like 'Na Estrada' in 2015 and 'Encontro' in 2020. Maycon handles vocals, guitar, and percussion, while Renato sings and plays bass and cavaquinho.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
