Biography

Jane e Herondy is a striking Brazilian musical duo formed by the couple Jane Moraes and Herondy, whose birth name is José Roberto Bueno de Lima. Natives of the state of São Paulo, they met in Curitiba and won over Brazil in the 1970s with an essentially romantic repertoire. The major milestone of their career occurred in 1977 with the release of the megahit "Não Se Vá", a song that catapulted them to the top of the charts and opened doors to the international market, in addition to guaranteeing frequent appearances on classic television shows of the era, such as Cassino do Chacrinha and Globo de Ouro.

Throughout their careers, Jane and Herondy accumulated over 50 recorded albums, landing hits like "Índia", "Fascinação" and "Dois Num Só Coração". In 1985, they faced a serious car accident on the Anhanguera Highway, and years later saw the musical landscape transform with the rise of sertanejo music, which led them to a temporary retreat. After going through a divorce and a period apart, the couple reconciled in 2010 and resumed joint artistic activities, blending their classic songs with strands of MPB, while Jane also dedicates herself to interpretations of jazz and bossa nova.
