A Rio de Janeiro pagode group that built a following on romantic samba and neighborhood roots.
For a sense of their sound, try "Eu Topo" or "Faz Assim." They're the kind of group that makes you remember why pagode caught on in the first place.
They came up playing local bars and festivals in Vila Isabel, working in the samba and pagode styles that defined their part of Rio. Songs like "Eu Topo" kept their sound rooted in Brazilian popular music while reaching a wider audience. Their music typically dealt with romance and nostalgia in a melodic style that worked well on radio and at parties.
They formed in 1997 with Bruno Cardoso on vocals and a lineup built around cavaquinho, pandeiro, surdo, and tamborim. Their self-titled debut came out in 1999 with singles like "Ainda Gosto Dela," and they put out several more albums through the 2000s including "Por Você" and "É Diferente." By the late 2000s they'd become one of the more recognizable pagode acts in Brazil.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
