Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zé Mário and João Viola were a Brazilian duo who formed in Rio de Janeiro in the 1950s. Zé Mário played guitar and sang, while João Viola handled accordion and vocals. Their partnership produced several songs, including 'Coração Bandido,' 'Migalhas de Amor,' and 'Origem da Viola.'
In 1961, they recorded 'Coração Bandido,' a ballad about unrequited love that became widely popular in Brazil. The song's melancholic melody helped establish their presence in Brazilian popular music during that period.
They released albums like 'Chacrinha Não Era de Nada' in 1964 and 'Boemia e Viola' in 1965. Other recordings include 'Rascunhos de Minha Vida' and 'Sangue Nobre.'
Zé Mário dealt with alcoholism and depression at times, which affected their activity. They put out a self-titled album in 1978. The duo's music, particularly 'Coração Bandido,' remains familiar to many Brazilian listeners.
