Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ricardo Gomes and Leonardo Sullivan met in the 1970s in Três Lagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul. They formed a duo that released their debut album 'Jeito de Mato' in 1985, featuring the title track that became their most recognizable song.
'Jeito de Mato' connected with listeners across Brazil, its lyrics depicting rural life in straightforward terms. The song's popularity extended to neighboring countries like Argentina and Paraguay. In the late 1980s, they faced plagiarism accusations regarding their song 'Fazenda São Francisco,' though this didn't significantly affect their standing with audiences.
They continued performing and recording through the 1990s, with albums including 'Raízes Sertanejas' and 'Terra Boa.' Their music drew from the sounds and themes of Brazil's countryside, maintaining a consistent approach throughout their work together.
