R-Emici formed in São Paulo in 1996 with Rodolfo Abrantes on vocals and guitar, Samuel Rosa also on vocals and guitar, and Felipe Cordeiro on bass. They built an audience through live shows before getting much attention from labels. Their 2001 album 'Madrugada Fria' gave them their breakthrough, with the title track becoming a hit.
Their music mixed rock and pop with Brazilian rhythms, and their lyrics sometimes drew criticism from conservative groups. They kept recording through the 2000s and 2010s, putting out albums like 'Cinema' and 'MTV Ao Vivo' and playing festivals like Rock in Rio.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
