Quinta do Bill formed in Porto Alegre in 1995, playing local bars and clubs. Their 2002 debut album, 'Quando Eu Era Pequenino,' gave them national recognition with its title track, a ballad about childhood nostalgia. The band's sound pulls from samba, soul, and Brazilian popular music, led by frontman Márcio Mendes.
In 2006, a song about same-sex love sparked outrage among conservative groups. They released several albums, including 'Samba Social Clube' in 2005 and 'Seu Corpo É o Meu Corpo' in 2011.
Other songs like 'Voa' and 'Os Filhos Da Nação' appear in their catalog. The band included percussionist Duda Neves, guitarist Beto Chedid, and bassist Alexandre Birck. They collaborated with artists such as Gilberto Gil and Arlindo Cruz.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
