Biography

Armazém was a Brazilian folk rock and pop band formed in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, in 1999. The musical project was conceived and led by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Tattá Spalla, in partnership with musician, lyricist, and producer Robertinho Brant. The band's sound blended solid elements of 1970s rock with folk rock, also bringing the strong identity of the music produced in Minas Gerais.

In the group's lineup, Tattá Spalla took on lead vocals, electric guitars, acoustic guitars, and compositions. Robertinho Brant, in addition to acting as a guitarist, was primarily responsible for the lyrics and the musical production of the group's work. The band also featured other musicians from Minas Gerais in its lineup, such as drummer Mauro Beléu. The partnership in the band lasted for about six years, after which Tattá Spalla pursued his solo career, releasing albums such as "Fila de Cinema".

The work of the group Armazém was recorded in releases distributed by labels dedicated to independent and regional music, such as the record label Sonhos e Sons and the distributor Tratore. The band had partnerships with artists such as Seu Jorge and Toninho Horta, which resulted in songs and guest appearances on their albums.
