A Brazilian duo whose gentle harmonies carried lyrics of social justice and devotion.
For a sense of their emotional directness, try 'Por Favor, Volte Pra Mim' or 'Derradeiro Pedido'. They're both straightforward and lived-in.
Their 1969 debut 'Canção Pra Vera' was an instant hit, but songs like 'Nosso Amor é Mais Importante' had to be altered to avoid government censorship. They kept writing about love and justice through the 1970s and 1980s, a quiet persistence that gave their music its weight.
They met in the mid-1960s and started recording together. Their children later joined the musical family, keeping the songs alive into the next generation.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
