A Bahia trio whose spider-pig song became a national party staple.
For their sound, start with 'Porco Aranha' and then try 'Boozehound.' That gives you the spider-pig hit and one of their other light, danceable tracks.
Their 1999 debut included 'Porco Aranha,' a song about a spider-pig that caught on quickly across Brazil. The track's humor and simple melody made it a staple at parties, mixing samba and axé rhythms with straightforward pop arrangements. Beyond that hit, they recorded songs like 'Boozehound' and 'The Garbage Man,' keeping the tone light and the beats danceable.
Os Simpsons formed in Salvador, Bahia in the late 1990s with childhood friends Alexandre Peixe, Tatau, and Marcos Santanna. They put out albums like 'Só pra Balançar' in 2000 and 'Faixa Amarela' in 2002. Tatau left in 2010 to work on his own projects, and the group continued with Peixe and Santanna joined by other musicians.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
