Editor's note

O Terno's poetic São Paulo sound

A Brazilian trio whose music blends earthy rhythms with introspective lyrics.

For a good sense of their range, listen to 'Vamos Assumir' from their debut and the more recent 'Canto de Ossanha.' Both have that signature introspective feel.

O Terno's songs have a way of feeling both grounded and quietly expansive. 'Canto de Ossanha' shows their knack for poetic, personal writing that draws from Brazilian literature. They've worked with artists like Caetano Veloso, but their music still feels like it belongs in a São Paulo bar.

The band formed in 2004 as an experimental project by Tim Bernardes and Guilherme D'Almeida. Their self-titled debut came out in 2009 with songs like 'Vamos Assumir,' and their sound has since incorporated more psychedelic rock and jazz elements across albums like 'Uaná' and 'Violeta.'

Archive material and source history

O Terno formed in São Paulo in 2004 as an experimental project by Tim Bernardes and Guilherme D'Almeida. Their early sound drew from the earthy rhythms of Northeastern Brazil, and they built a following playing local bars and venues. Their self-titled debut album came out in 2009, with songs like 'Vamos Assumir' and 'Eu Confesso' showing their introspective lyrical style.

The band's lineup settled as Bernardes on vocals and guitar, D'Almeida on drums, and Victor Rice on bass. They've released several albums including 'Rádio Noia' in 2012, 'O Terno (2)' in 2014, 'Uaná' in 2016, and 'Violeta' in 2019. Their music has incorporated elements of psychedelic rock and jazz over time, and they've worked with artists like Caetano Veloso and Chico Buarque.

Bernardes writes lyrics that often feel poetic and personal, drawing from Brazilian literature and everyday experience. Songs like 'Papa Francisco Perdoa Tom Zé' and 'Canto de Ossanha' reflect this approach.
