Zezé e Mascarenhas were a Brazilian duo from Recife who started working together in the early 1970s. Their song 'Porteira Velha' became a national hit, and they recorded several albums including O Vento Vai Levar and Xote dos Milagres.
Their lyrics sometimes drew attention from Brazil's military government, which was in power at the time. Some performances were censored and album releases faced delays.
Zezé died in 2007 and Mascarenhas in 2015. Songs like 'Cuitelinho' and 'Fica a Dica' remain part of their recorded work.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
