A São Paulo backcountry band that stuck to traditional sertanejo sounds and plainspoken lyrics.
For a good sense of their sound, start with 'Caipira' and maybe 'Dane-se o Chefe'. Both have that unpolished, backcountry feel they never really left behind.
Their song 'Caipira' became an anthem for the rural countryside with its viola caipira and accordion lines, giving it a distinctly earthy feel. They built a following by avoiding polished production and keeping arrangements traditional. Songs like 'Ócio' and 'Dane-se o Chefe' carried that same direct, grounded quality, sometimes touching on social concerns that connected with listeners.
They formed in the early 1990s in São Paulo's backcountry, drawn together by a shared interest in sertanejo music. Albums like 'Caipira' in 1995 and 'Sertão Urbano' in 2004 maintained a focus on traditional Brazilian folk forms without much concern for mainstream trends.
