A Brazilian quartet that flew under the radar in the early '70s when these seasoned musicians opened for Os Novos Baianos. But when they decided to release their own material - a mix of northeastern rhythms, rock and choro, the closest Brazilian music has to European classical music - between 1977 and 1987, the group gained its share of fame. John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham and Sammy Figueroa played with them at the Montreux Jazz Fest in 1978. Although they disbanded in 1987, they reunited in 1994 for a performance recorded for a live album released in 1996. "A Cor Do Som," the instrumental self-titled debut album released in 1977, received very good reviews but sold only 6,000 copies
