Do Amor is a Brazilian supergroup of sorts, formed in Rio de Janeiro by members who have served as the backbone for some of the country's most significant acts, most notably Caetano Veloso's Cê band. The lineup includes Ricardo Dias Gomes, Marcelo Callado, Gustavo Benjão, and Gabriel Bubu.
Their sound identity is defined by a sophisticated fusion of Tropicalia, post-punk, and indie rock, characterized by dual-guitar interplay and a highly dynamic rhythm section. Emerging in the late 2000s, they became a central fixture of the 'Novo Rock Brasil' scene, bridging the gap between the experimentalism of the 1960s and the globalized indie sounds of the 21st century. Critical consensus highlights their ability to maintain a 'carioca' identity while pushing structural boundaries. Their influence is felt across the contemporary Brazilian alternative landscape, particularly in bands that prioritize rhythmic complexity and live-band chemistry over electronic production. They occupy a unique cultural position as 'musician's musicians' who nonetheless produce accessible, danceable rock music.
