Yogurtes formed in São Paulo in the late 1990s, with singer Ana Carolina and guitarist Marcelo Camelo at the center. Their sound pulled from bossa nova and samba, but with an indie rock feel that gave their live shows an intimate, soulful quality.
In 2000, they released "Bom Pra Dois," a song that caught on quickly. Ana Carolina's vocals and the track's haunting melody made it an anthem of love and longing, pushing the band into the mainstream. Another song, "Volta ao começo(se você quiser ficar)," shows their knack for blending poetic lyrics with gentle arrangements.
They put out albums like "Samba Poético" in 2003 and "Supernova" in 2011, and worked with artists including Marisa Monte and Caetano Veloso. The band faced creative tensions and Ana Carolina's struggles with depression, but they kept making music that felt both personal and widely resonant.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
