Xikinho e Paty were a Brazilian duo who worked together in the late 1980s and 1990s. They're best remembered for their 1989 song "Minha Mãezinha," a sentimental ballad about a mother that became widely popular.
They met in Belo Horizonte, where Xikinho (Gilberto Xicão) sang and played guitar and Paty (Patrícia Mendonça) provided vocals. Their music leaned toward romantic themes, with later songs like "Estrela Guia" and "Amor de Verdade" following a similar emotional tone.
Some of their early performances were met with skepticism, but the pair kept performing. They released albums into the early 2000s, including the track "Ainda Ontem" in 2002.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
