Raiz e Sertão formed in 2005 with José Neto and Jeovane dos Santos. They've released several albums including their self-titled debut in 2008, Refletindo in 2011, and more recent work like Axé Nordestino in 2020.
Their music draws from traditional Brazilian rhythms like forró and baião, mixed with contemporary folk elements. The song Refletindo has been particularly noted for its reflective lyrics.
The current lineup includes Neto on vocals and guitar, dos Santos on vocals and bass, along with Assisão on accordion, Celso do Beco on percussion, and Jaci de Carvalho on drums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
