A Brazilian pair whose gentle ballads and carimbó rhythms defined a certain 1970s sound.
For a sense of their sound, try 'Só Pode Ser Feitiço' or the earlier 'Batidão Diferente.' They're both gentle, straightforward examples of what they did.
They started working together in the early 1970s, and their debut album 'Por Amor' arrived in 1976 with the single 'Travesseiro Molhado.' Songs like 'Só Pode Ser Feitiço' and 'Batidão Diferente' were romantic ballads that connected with listeners, and they kept recording through the early 1980s with albums like 'Amor Brasileiro.'
The duo consisted of José Mesquita de Menezes, known as Zé da Silva, and Lúcio da Silva, who performed as Silveri. They recorded several albums through the early 1980s, including 'Só Nós Dois,' with songs such as 'Morena dos Olhos Verdes' becoming part of their catalog.
