A São Paulo band that's been making melodic, uplifting music since the late 1990s.
For a good sense of their sound, try "Chuva Ou Sol" or "Alimenta Meu Sonho." Gusmão's voice and the guitar work from Ribeiro and Mendes give their music its character.
They've got that knack for songs that just connect, like "Chuva Ou Sol" or "Alimenta Meu Sonho" from their 2003 debut. That last one became something of an anthem for listeners, with its plainspoken message about holding onto dreams. Their appeal has always been pretty direct, uplifting tunes without too much fuss.
They formed in São Paulo in the late 1990s with Raul Gusmão on vocals and released their self-titled debut in 2003. Since then they've put out several albums, including "Essência" in 2006 and "10 Anos" in 2013, mixing rock and pop with Brazilian folk elements. They faced plagiarism accusations over "Ela Partiu" in 2009 but kept at it, playing live and recording.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
