Biography

Primavera nos Dentes is a Brazilian band formed in 2017, comprising musicians Charles Gavin (drums), Paulo Rafael (guitar), Duda Brack (vocals), Pedro Coelho (bass), and Felipe Ventura (violin and guitar). The band's concept revolves around reinterpreting the repertoire of the iconic Brazilian group Secos & Molhados, particularly their first two albums. The project was initiated by drummer Charles Gavin, a former member of the renowned Brazilian rock band Titãs.

The band's name, "Primavera nos Dentes" (Spring in the Teeth), is derived from a song title by Secos & Molhados. Their music blends elements of rock, MPB, and psychedelic sounds, offering fresh arrangements to the classic songs. Duda Brack's powerful vocals and the band's dynamic instrumentation bring a contemporary edge to the timeless lyrics of Secos & Molhados, exploring themes of social commentary and individual freedom.

Primavera nos Dentes has released several albums, including a self-titled debut in 2017, which was later reissued with bonus tracks. They have also been the subject of documentaries and have performed live, celebrating the enduring legacy of Secos & Molhados and their significant impact on Brazilian music.
