A pair from Caicó who sang forró and baião, with Ze do Cedro on guitar and João do Pinho on accordion.
For a sense of their sound, try "Jacutinga" or "Não Há Coração Que Aguenta." They're straightforward, no-fuss forró.
They recorded albums like Sabiá Laranjeira in 1970 and Flor do Nordeste in 1978, with songs like "Jacutinga" and "Fazenda Bom Sucesso" that stuck to their regional roots. João do Pinho wrote the lyrics for "Sabiá Laranjeira," which became a well-known tune. Even when critics questioned their traditional approach, they kept putting out music, including a 2005 compilation called 30 Anos de Sucesso.
They started in Caicó, Rio Grande do Norte, releasing their first album in 1970. Over the next decade, they put out records like Forró do Amor in 1975, staying active through the late '70s.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
