A Brazilian group from the early 80s whose hit 'Convite de Casamento' made them a national name.
For a quick sense of them, try 'Convite de Casamento' for the hit and 'Um cristal, um rubi' for that early sound.
Vavá's sound mixed pop, funk, and samba in a way that caught on in Rio and beyond. Their song 'Convite de Casamento' was the hit that got them noticed, and tracks like 'Um cristal, um rubi' show the style they kept going. They worked with Chico Buarque and Gilberto Gil, which says something about where they fit in Brazilian music at the time.
They came together in Rio de Janeiro in the early 1980s and put out albums like 'Superfantástico' in 1985. There were changes in the band and some legal issues, and their popularity faded in the 1990s, but people have been listening again more recently.
