Ze Corral formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1999, releasing their first album independently that same year. They didn't find much traction initially, but kept working on their sound. In 2004, their second album 'Na Mira' changed things. The title track became a hit, bringing them national attention in Brazil.
Their music pulls from samba, rock, and reggae, giving them a distinctive sound that connected with audiences. After 'Na Mira,' they released albums in 2009 and 2012. The band's core members are Wado on vocals and guitar, Pretinho on bass, and Sérgio on drums, with other musicians joining them at different times.
In 2007, they had a dispute with their record label that paused their recording and touring for a while. They worked through it and kept making music. Their live shows developed a reputation for energy, and their songs often touch on social themes alongside personal ones.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
