Os Montanari formed in Campos do Jordão in 1995, a trio made up of André Junqueira, Rafael Junqueira, and Carlinhos Ferreira. They started playing in local bars and festivals around the Serra da Mantiqueira region before catching the attention of producer Zé Henrique, who helped them get a record deal.
Their debut album "Trem da Serra" came out in 1998, with the title track becoming popular across Brazil. They built a reputation for energetic live shows and catchy melodies that connected with audiences. Songs like "Andando na Praia" and "Melô Do Rolo" became staples in their setlists.
In 2004, their third album "Zic Zac" produced the track that would become their biggest hit. The song "Zic Zac" topped charts and became a party anthem throughout Brazil, though some critics dismissed their music as too commercial. The band continued performing with songs like "Heyo-Heyo" and "Buteco Do Stitz" in their repertoire.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
