P12

P12 formed in São Paulo in the early 2000s around Pedro Calais and Leandro Lehart, with Bruno Pucci on bass and Daniel Müller on drums. Their name references the twelve notes of the chromatic scale. They released their self-titled debut album in 2005, which included the single '1988 em Outro Lugar.' That song's nostalgic feel connected with listeners and helped the band find an audience.

Other songs like 'So Lembro de Ti,' 'História Sem Fim,' and 'Não É o Fim do Mundo' followed on later albums. The group put out records roughly every few years through the 2010s, including 'Em Algun Lugar' in 2007, 'Noites Aquáticas' in 2010, and 'Flores' in 2016. Their music often dealt with themes of love and loss.

While some critics early on questioned their style, P12 kept working and their sound shifted over time, becoming more introspective and experimental on albums like 'No Fim do Túnel É Sempre Esquerda' from 2013. They played live shows noted for their emotional intensity. The band's last studio album listed was '2029' in 2019.
