Peão Carreiro e Zé Paulino were a Brazilian sertanejo duo from Goiás who formed in the early 1960s. Their 1970 album 'Larga do Meu Pé' gave them a national hit with the title track, which became one of their most recognizable songs. They recorded more than twenty albums together, including 'Meu Pé de Rosa' and 'Rio de Lágrimas'.
Their lyrics often dealt with rural life, love, and working-class struggles, sometimes using direct language that drew criticism from conservative listeners. They kept recording through the 1970s with songs like 'O Amor Não Morre' and 'Boia Fria'.
Peão Carreiro was Aurimar de Oliveira, and Zé Paulino was José Alves dos Santos. Their music remains part of Brazilian popular culture, with songs like 'Virginiano' and 'De Corpo e Alma' still heard today.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
