Sandro & Waldo were an Italian duo formed in Rome in 1968, consisting of Sandro Giacobbe and Waldo De Los Rios. They worked in a style that mixed pop with classical and folk elements, which caught on with Italian listeners during the 1970s.
Their 1974 song "Amor de Prima Vera" became a major hit in Italy, a ballad about young love that reached the top of the charts. Other tracks like "Adoro Te Namorar" and "Manto Sagrado" show the melodic, romantic quality that defined much of their output.
They kept performing and maintained a following despite these clashes with more conservative elements of the culture.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
