Editor's note

Zé Clovis e Zabala, a Brazilian duo from São Paulo

Their 1967 hit 'Andando na Praia' captured a relaxed, beachy sound that became familiar across Brazil.

For their sound, start with 'Andando na Praia.' For their later mood, try 'A Lua É Testemunha.'

They met playing in São Paulo bars in the mid-1960s and recorded their first album in 1967. That record included 'Andando na Praia,' which became a national hit. Songs like 'A Lua É Testemunha' and 'Volte Amor' still get radio play in Brazil.

They put out several albums through the 1970s, including 'Só Mais Uma Chance' in 1968 and 'Saudade' in 1974. Zé Clovis struggled with drug addiction, which affected his life and performances.
