A duo from Santo Antônio do Içá whose songs sketch everyday life with plainspoken detail.
For a sense of their plainspoken style, try 'Espinho na Cama' or 'Entre Quatro Paredes'. They're the kind of songs that feel lived-in, not polished.
They built a catalog of 169 songs that feel like snapshots of ordinary moments, a thorn in the bed, a house in the sertão, a nine o'clock plane. Tracks like 'Espinho na Cama' and 'Entre Quatro Paredes' still pull listeners today, even though their 1992 debut 'Olho de Vidro' first put them on the map. They kept recording through canceled shows and occasional criticism, never straying far from the straightforward sertaneja sound they started with.
Valderi da Silva and Mizael da Cruz met in their Amazonas hometown and released their debut album 'Olho de Vidro' in 1992. They followed it with records like 'O Menino do Acre' in 1994 and 'Amor Cigano' two years later, working occasionally with other artists like Daniel on 'Viúva Rica'. Their songs stayed rooted in everyday themes, love, travel, domestic life, with Valderi on vocals and guitar, Mizael on vocals and bass.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
