Quarteto Vida formed in the early 1990s with brothers Rafael and Isaac Peres, Igor Paschoal, and João Batista. Their debut album 'Semeador' came out in 1999, featuring the title track that became a staple in their repertoire. They followed it with albums like 'O Menino e a Serpente' in 2002, 'Amanhecer' in 2005, and 'Roda Viva' in 2008.
Their songs often touch on social themes, with tracks like 'Navio Negreiro' and 'Comunhão' reflecting this approach. In 2002, their song 'Dilúvio' drew criticism for its commentary on Brazilian social issues. The group faced another notable incident in 2014 when they were detained by police in Qatar during the World Cup over permit issues.
Rafael Peres handles lead vocals, Isaac Peres contributes harmonies and acoustic guitar, Igor Paschoal plays bass, and João Batista is on drums. Their music incorporates Afro-Brazilian rhythms with contemporary harmonies, heard in songs like 'Folião' and 'Rodopiou'.
