Wellison

Wellison was a Brazilian band best known for their 2002 single "Cabra da Peste," a song about a mischievous goat that became a national hit. The track's catchy melody and humorous lyrics connected with listeners across Brazil, turning it into something of an anthem. They followed it with other songs like "Brinde Pros Verdadeiros" and "Não Vou Cair Outra Vez."

The band's lineup included frontman Welisson Nunes, guitarist Beto Lomba, bassist Naldo Riccelli, and drummer João Paulo de Almeida. They released a series of albums from 2002 through 2019, simply titled with numbers from Wellison (2002) up to Dez (2019). Their music often mixed humor with social observation, delivered through straightforward rock arrangements.

While "Cabra da Peste" brought them widespread attention, their work maintained a consistent, unpretentious approach. They didn't chase trends or polish their sound into something slick, which gave their recordings a direct, grounded quality. Songs like "Eu Sempre Te Amei" showed they could handle more straightforward material without losing their character.
