A Brazilian band that mixed folk, rock, and reggae into their own sound, known for the 2002 single "Palavras Erradas."
For a sense of their range, try "Palavras Erradas" for the ballad that caught on, or "Como Ser Feliz Ganhando Pouco" from their top songs. They've always mixed covers and originals pretty seamlessly.
They came up in Brazil's mid-'90s underground, blending folk, rock, and reggae into something that felt like their own. The 2002 single "Palavras Erradas" broke through nationally, a ballad about miscommunication that's still one of their most recognized songs. Their catalog includes six studio albums and live sets like "Ao Vivo no Circo Voador," with covers from "Layla" to "Born to be Wild" alongside originals like "Cão de Guarda."
Marcelo Mira, Gabriel Thomaz, and Juliano Holanda formed the band in the mid-1990s, releasing their self-titled debut in 1997. After "Palavras Erradas" in 2002, they put out later albums such as "Romanceiro" in 2010, with lineup shifts around the core trio. They've worked with musicians like drummer Rodrigo Barba and producer Kassin across their records.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
