A 1980s Rio de Janeiro group whose song "Sensível Demais" became a national hit in 1992.
For a quick sense of them, put on "Sensível Demais" and "Sombra". That's the heart of it.
Nalanda's music, especially the hit "Sensível Demais", defined a certain Brazilian pop-rock sound in the early '90s. Songs like "Longe do Chão" and "Qual É" found a real audience, even as some critics called them too sentimental. They weren't flashy, but they stuck around, and their records like "Asas" and "Fragmentos" still turn up in collections.
They formed in Rio in 1985, with Marcos Almeida on vocals and a steady lineup of guitarists, bassist, and drummer. After years of local shows, "Sensível Demais" broke through nationally in 1992. The band kept releasing albums through the '90s and early 2000s, mostly with the same members.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
