Ze Moreno (José Moreno) and Paraense (José Nilton dos Santos) started playing together in the late 1990s. Their song 'Saudade Bandida' became one of their most recognizable tracks, tapping into that particular Brazilian feeling of longing.
They've released albums like 'Meu Forronejo' in 2003 and 'O Canto da Saudade' in 2006. Another song, 'Estrada da Imaginação,' shows up in their catalog. They've worked with other Brazilian musicians including Zé Ramalho and Elba Ramalho.
Their lyrics have sometimes drawn criticism, particularly a song called 'Foda-se a Censura.' They've kept making music through it, with Ze Moreno handling vocals and songwriting while Paraense sings and plays guitar.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
