Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zé Marcos & Otávio formed in São Paulo in 1986. Their second album, 'Infância Adormecida,' came out in 1990, and its title track became a national hit in Brazil. The duo released several other albums through the 1990s, including 'Olhos do Coração' in 1995 and 'O Tempo e a Maré' in 1998.
In 1991, they faced a plagiarism accusation over the song 'Revoada,' which was said to resemble an earlier composition. Both members dealt with personal struggles during their career, with Otávio battling substance abuse and Zé Marcos facing health issues.
They worked with artists like Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil, and Edu Lobo. Their 2002 album 'Acústico' and 2005's 'Ao Vivo em São Paulo' were among their later releases.
