Biography

As Marcianas is a female country music duo formed in 1981 in São Paulo by sisters Celina and Ivone Sant'Angelo, daughters of singer João Mineiro. The name of the duo is a reference to their godfather, Marciano, who formed a duo with Celina and Ivone's father, João Mineiro.

The duo stood out in the romantic country scene, achieving national fame with hits like "Vou Te Amarrar na Minha Cama" and "Porque Brigamos". In 1986, they released an album that became the first by a female country music duo to achieve gold and platinum records in Brazil. Over the years, the duo's lineup went through several changes, with Celina Sant'Angelo remaining as a constant member. Since 2000, Adriana Bastos has been the second voice alongside Celina, consolidating one of the longest-lasting lineups.

With a career spanning over four decades, As Marcianas are considered pioneers in female country music, paving the way for many other artists. The duo has released several albums and DVDs, participated in numerous television programs, and remains active on stage, keeping the tradition of romantic country music alive.
