A fado and folk pair who gave traditional sounds a contemporary treatment.
Start with 'A Muié do Tião' to hear their early sound, then try 'Primeira Ilusão' for something from their middle period. Both show what they did with fado and folk.
They took fado and folk and made them feel current, with Vadico on vocals and guitar and Vidoco on accordion. Their lyrics carried social commentary that drew both admiration and criticism. Songs like 'A Muié do Tião' from their 1983 debut show how they worked within tradition without being bound by it.
They formed in the late 1970s and released their first album 'A Moda Dos Trinta' in 1983. Through the 1980s and early 1990s they put out records like 'O Sentido Da Vida' and 'Máquina Do Tempo', blending fado, folk, and rock elements. Later recordings include 'Divertimento de Violeiro' and 'Lá Onde Eu Moro'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
