A Brazilian band mixing samba with rock and pop since 1996, led by vocalist and accordionist Rodrigo Oliveira.
For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Você virou saudade' or 'Fazendo Vai-e-vem.' Both have that mix of accordion and rhythm they've been working since the late '90s.
They formed in Cachoeira do Sul in 1996 and built a catalog that includes 'Você virou saudade' alongside collaborations with Gilberto Gil and Zeca Pagodinho. Their sound puts accordion at the center of samba rhythms while weaving in rock and pop touches. Songs like 'É sábado o dia' and 'O Rio Grande Me Criou' ground their music in weekend celebration and gaúcho life.
Their debut album in 1999 featured the hit 'É sábado o dia,' followed by releases like 'Samba de Verão' in 2001 and 'Só Alegria' in 2003. The core lineup has included Oliveira with Diego Machado on cavaquinho and Luiz Fernando on guitar across several albums. Their catalog spans from early tracks like 'Bica Que Bica' to later songs such as 'Vai, Vai No Balanço do Tchê.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
