A small-town Brazilian band that blended traditional rhythms with wider appeal.
For a good sense of their catalog, try "Estrelas" or "Camisa Vermelha." They're straightforward examples of what they did.
They came out of Arcoverde in the 1970s playing local bars, but their sound reached far beyond that. Songs like "Diadorando" and "O Ciclo da Lua" show how they worked traditional forró into something that caught on. They even recorded with names like Gilberto Gil and Dominguinhos along the way.
The band formed in Arcoverde with José Modesto on vocals and guitar, Zé de Cachaça on accordion, Dedé on zabumba, and Rogério on triangle. They put out albums like "Forró do Meio Dia" and "Pé de Serra," and kept playing festivals and recording live sets.
