Os Velhos Guris formed in Porto Alegre in 1982, starting out playing local bars. Their music mixed traditional folk rhythms with rock elements, which gave them a distinctive sound from the beginning. Songs like 'Aos Pés da Santa Cruz' and 'Marina' show how they built their approach around storytelling, often focusing on urban life and social themes.
They've kept recording since, with albums like 'Calango' in 2004 and 'Noite de Oração' in 2015. The group's current lineup includes Beto Chedid on vocals and guitar, Paulinho Fagundes on accordion, Duca Leindecker on bass, and Pedro Verissimo on drums.
They've maintained a steady presence in Brazilian music without chasing trends, sticking to their blend of folk and rock. Tracks like 'A Voz do Morro' and 'Oito Mulheres' continue to show their commitment to narrative songwriting and regional sounds.
