Vinícius Portento is a self-taught musician from Rio de Janeiro who started making music that draws from samba rhythms and punk energy. His band includes guitarist Pedro Pimenta, bassist João Pedro, and drummer Isabel Braga.
Their 2018 debut album 'Feliz à Toa' gave them their breakthrough, with the title track becoming something of an anthem. They followed it with albums like 'Só Pra Te Ver Sorrir' in 2020 and 'Não Tenho Medo de Ser Feliz' in 2022.
Some of their lyrics have touched on social and political themes, which has occasionally sparked discussion. But songs like 'Feliz à Toa' and 'Parece Fácil' keep the overall feeling light and celebratory.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
