Vandrin & Rafini

Vandrin & Rafini are a Brazilian duo who put out their first album in 2008. Their second record, from 2013, shares its name with the song 'Cidade Escarlate,' which became their most recognized track. They've released other albums like 'Cosmos' in 2016 and 'Lado B' in 2020.

Vandrin handles vocals and guitar, while Rafini works on production and multiple instruments. Their music sometimes touches on social themes, which has led to some public discussion around certain songs. They tend to keep a low profile outside of their recordings and performances.

Songs like 'Paraísos Artificiais' and 'Antes do Amanhecer' show their range, moving between atmospheric arrangements and more direct balladry. They haven't chased a conventional public career, but their work has found an audience through these recordings.
