A pair of northeastern Brazilian musicians who played energetic forró for two decades.
For their sound, try 'Borda da Mata.' For something a little different, 'Na Boca da Cobra' has that rougher feel they were known for.
They brought a raw, sometimes explicit edge to the forró tradition of Luiz Gonzaga and Jackson do Pandeiro. Songs like 'Borda da Mata' and 'Rosa Marcada' became staples in their live sets. Their music, including the album 'Briga de Casado,' still gets played today.
They started performing together in the early 1980s in Ceará, with Zé Pagão on vocals and Fostino on accordion. They released albums through the late '80s and '90s, like 'Só Forró' in 1990. They performed together for about twenty years until Zé Pagão's death in 2006.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
