Biography

Duani e Dinei is a sertanejo duo formed in 1990 in the city of Franca, in the countryside of São Paulo. The duo is known for their romantic sertanejo style and has won over audiences throughout Brazil with their songs.

Duani, whose real name is Arnaldo dos Reis Morais, is the brother of singers Gian and Giovani. Before forming the duo with Dinei, Duani even sang with his brothers in the initial lineup of the family group. The partnership with Dinei was consolidated in Franca, but it was in the Minas Gerais city of Passos that the duo gained national projection, starting an extensive touring schedule.

Throughout their career, Duani e Dinei have released five CDs and a 25th-anniversary DVD. Among their hits are "Sou peão", "Não pára sanfoneiro", "Quem vai te amar mais que eu", "Me deixe só", "Entre o beijo e a boca", "A gente se enrosca" and "Leilão", the latter of which was re-recorded by Cezar Menotti & Fabiano. The duo also participated in the "Pinga com Limão" project in partnership with Rionegro e Solimões.
