A Brazilian band that blended tropicalismo with rock through the 1960s and 1970s.
For their sound, try 'Minha Fama de Mau.' For their Brazilian holiday touch, there's 'Vem Chegando o Natal.'
Twiggy captured a specific moment when Brazilian music was absorbing psychedelic rock and tropicalismo currents. Their 1976 Christmas song 'Vem Chegando o Natal' became widely popular across Brazil. They worked with artists like Chico Buarque and Caetano Veloso, and songs like 'Minha Fama de Mau' show their blend of rock energy with Brazilian rhythms.
They formed in Rio de Janeiro in the mid-1960s with Oswaldo Sargentelli on vocals. Their self-titled debut came out in 1968, followed by records like 'Luz e Som' in 1972 and 'A Gente Adora' in 1977. Sargentelli stayed as lead vocalist and main songwriter through lineup shifts that continued into the 1980s and beyond.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
