Quarteto SÚplicas formed in Rio de Janeiro in the early 1960s, with Marcos Valle, Paulo Sérgio Valle, Ivan Lins, and Dori Caymmi as founding members. They worked in a space between bossa nova, samba, and pop, though the specifics of their sound are harder to pin down from the available material.
Their 1965 song "Gigante Filisteu" became their most recognized work. Despite that, or perhaps partly because of it, the song found an audience. They released albums like "Gigante Filisteu" in 1966 and "Vivendo e Aprendendo" in 1967, though the group's lineup shifted over time.
Beyond "Gigante Filisteu," their catalog includes songs like "Desse Amor Eu Cantarei," "Ame," and "Basta Confiar." The quartet's activity seems to have tapered off after the early 1970s, with "Terra" arriving in 1970.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
