The makes a unique sound with the influences of Brazilian sounds like Bossanova, Forró and Rock Progressive .

"We`ve been working since 2002. We all met in Recife-PE-Brazil. We feel like we are the best when it's only the four of us playing in a small room. Our music goes far beyond the stars. Then it touches some limit wall and comes back as a beautiful and distant echo."[citation needed]
