Quiteria Mauricio

Quiteria and Mauricio formed as a duo in São Paulo, where they began working together as teenagers. Their first album came out in 2010, and they went on to record four studio albums in total. Songs like "Canaã" and "Por Cima Das Águas" became well-known for their harmonies and reflective lyrics.

Quiteria handled most of the singing and wrote the words, while Mauricio played guitar and composed the music, drawing from classical and folk styles. Their later albums included both orchestral pieces and simpler acoustic recordings, but they kept a consistent sound built around Quiteria's voice and Mauricio's arrangements.

Some listeners questioned whether their songs about hardship and resilience were sincere, but the duo continued performing and recording without much public response to the criticism. They remained a working pair through their four albums, with Quiteria's vocals and Mauricio's guitar work defining their recordings.
