A vocal quartet from Recife that built a following with traditional rhythms and hits like 'Desculpe Morena'.
For a quick sense of their vibe, 'Desculpe Morena' has that early hit charm, and 'Vida Mansa' feels like a steady, gentle groove.
They formed in Recife in 1993, working through early financial struggles to develop a sound rooted in traditional Brazilian rhythms. Their 2001 debut album included 'Desculpe Morena', which became a hit and helped establish them. Tracks like 'Vida Mansa' and 'Forró das Meninas' kept that earthy, melodic feel alive through lineup shifts.
The original lineup with Ana Karina, Raquel Ramos, Simone Pessoa, and Virgínia Rodrigues released albums like 'Olinda' in 2003 and a live recording in 2005. Ana Karina left in 2010, leading to changes with Michelle Abu joining in 2011 and Luana Pacheco in 2018. They've kept performing and recording, with later releases like 'Acústico' in 2016.
