MPB4
Widely regarded as one of Brazil's premier vocal interpretation groups, MPB4 (acronym for Música Popular Brasileira 4) began their musical journey in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, in 1965. Originally named Quarteto do CPC after Rio's Popular Culture Center, founding members Miltinho, Magro, Achilles, and Ruy Faria began performing under the MPB-4 moniker following the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état. After relocating to São Paulo, the group was welcomed into the city's vibrant music scene by the likes of Nara Leão, Sidney Miller, Quarteto em Cy, and Chico Buarque, who would become one of their biggest collaborators. Between 1966 and 1968, MPB-4 hit their creative stride with a trilogy of successful self-titled albums, followed by a series of appearances at numerous festivals throughout Brazil. During this time, its members also became known for doing voiceover work in Disney films, most notably The Jungle Book and Dumbo. In 1978, the four-piece teamed up with Quarteto em Cy on the iconic covers album Cobra de Vidro, which featured a version of the Chico Buarque/Milton Nascimento original "O Cio da Terra." Both groups continued to collaborate together over the next few decades, joining forces on the LPs Bate-boca-Quarteto em Cy e MPB-4 (1997) and Vinícius-A arte do encontro. MPB-4 e Quarteto em Cy (2000). The group continued recording and performing well into the 21st century even after the deaths of founding members Ruy Faria and Magro in 2004 and 2012, respectively.
