A São Paulo quartet that mixed samba, bossa nova, rock, and jazz in the late 1970s and 1980s.
For a good sense of their style, 'A Chacarera da Moça' and 'Chamarrita Romanceira' hold up. They're both on that list of top songs people still look up.
They came out of São Paulo in the late 1970s with a sound that pulled from samba and bossa nova but wasn't afraid to fold in rock and jazz. Their debut album 'Aporreado' in 1979 had a title track that turned into an anthem, and songs like 'A Chacarera da Moça' show their knack for rhythm. During Brazil's politically tense period, their music sometimes drew criticism for being too raw or offensive, which says something about the edges they were working on.
They formed in São Paulo in the late 1970s with Adilson Santos on vocals, Hebert Tiburcio on guitar, Sérgio Diamante on bass, and Marcos Vinicius on drums. After 'Aporreado' in 1979, they put out albums like 'Brincando de Amor' in 1980 and a self-titled one in 1982, and kept performing through the mid-1980s, including a live album in 1985.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
