A 1990s duo that blended samba and MPB before their quiet split in 2002.
If you only hear one thing, make it 'Ex-Rainha.' For something a little different, try 'Saudade da Minha Terra', the title says it all.
They left behind a small catalog that feels like a complete statement, especially 'Ex-Rainha' from their 2000 album 'Cicatriz.' That song became their signature piece, a melancholy, beautifully arranged track that captures their blend of traditional Brazilian styles with a contemporary songwriter's touch. It's the kind of work that makes you wish they'd recorded more together.
Nelson Nascimento and Arnaldo Zeloni formed in the 1990s and released two albums, 'Porta Voz' in 1997 and 'Cicatriz' in 2000. They called it quits in 2002, with both continuing to make music separately afterward.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
