Pedro Sol

Pedro Sol formed in São Paulo in 1992, with Pedro Serra on lead vocals. They had trouble getting attention from labels at first. Their 1997 album 'O Guardião' changed that when the title track connected with listeners. The song became a staple for them, though they faced some plagiarism claims around that time that were later dismissed.

They kept recording after that, putting out albums like 'Vida Real' in 1999 and 'Liberdade' in 2007. The lineup stayed fairly steady with Eduardo Scharf on guitar, Marcelo Campos on drums, and Rodrigo Santos on bass. Other songs like 'Mas Você Não Vem' and 'Brand New Day' show up in their setlists.

Their music pulls from rock but sometimes works in Brazilian rhythms. They never became a huge international act, but in Brazil their songs found an audience that stuck with them.
