Sergio de Carvalho, known as Sergio, o Cancioneiro, began playing acoustic guitar in Rio de Janeiro during the 1970s. His band released their self-titled debut album in 1979, which included the song "Ainda Amo Você." That track became widely known on Brazilian radio.
Their music often dealt with straightforward emotional themes, as heard in songs like "O Coroa Foi de Muitas" and "A Velha Nao Pode Mais." The group's recordings spanned several decades, moving from simpler acoustic arrangements to more produced sounds over time.
Sergio de Carvalho was the consistent vocalist and lyricist for the band. They worked with other Brazilian musicians including Zeca Pagodinho, Ivan Lins, and Rita Lee at various points.
Some of their other familiar songs include "Aquela Foto," "Aquele Telefonema," and "Chinoca Buena."
