Paulo & Leandro were a Brazilian sertanejo duo whose music often dealt with themes of home and longing. Their song 'Estou Voltando Pra Casa' became particularly well-known for capturing that feeling of homesickness. They also recorded tracks like 'Casinha de Sapê' and 'Chora Viola Chora' that stayed within the traditional sertanejo style.
Paulo César Baruk was born in 1966 and grew up in the countryside of São Paulo. Leandro Borges was born in 1969 in Goiás. Their partnership ended when Leandro died in 1998 after being diagnosed with cancer the previous year.
They released more than ten studio albums together. Their work remains part of the sertanejo catalog, remembered for straightforward songs about everyday feelings rather than for dramatic innovation.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
