A duo that built a quiet catalog of Bossa Nova-inflected songs over two decades.
For a good sense of them, try 'Duas Mulheres' or 'Futebol da Bicharada.' They're both pretty representative of what the duo does.
They formed in 1999 and put out their debut 'Duas Mulheres' the next year, with that title track becoming one of their most recognizable tunes. Their sound is built around Tiê Castro's vocals and Duca Mendes' guitar, drawing from Bossa Nova and Brazilian Popular Music. Songs like 'Futebol da Bicharada' and 'Coisinhas da Vida' show the straightforward, sometimes sentimental approach that connected with listeners, even as it drew some criticism.
After 'Duas Mulheres' in 2000, they released albums like 'Casa' in 2004, 'Pilar' in 2008, 'Pássaro de Fogo' in 2012, and 'Raízes' in 2016. They kept writing and performing through it all, sticking with the same musical approach.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
