O Cardume can be described as a Pop/Rock band, but some differentials turn it surprising and singular.The brazilian percussion and the "sweet but tough" voice of Jacqueline Lua, brings to the sound another interesting colours.
O Cardume in portuguese means "Shoal", and we choose this name because it represents the band's spirit of union.
We love to play live. At theaters, arenas, pubs, malls...everywhere.
Now, with the internet, the world is an island. Public and artists are closer and the acess to the arts in general are more democratic.
Maybe. But is no longer necessary.
O Cardume started in Brasilia, Brazil in the year of 2000. Playing MPB(brazilian popular music) in pubs, malls and parties around the city. After four years playing and composing, came the idea to record the first CD with their own compositions. In 2005 O Cardume release his first album homonimous O Cardume. With a great response of the public and critics O Cardume started the brazilian tour to promote the album.
O Cardume is: Jacqueline Lua (Lead vocals), Sidval (Acoustic and eletric guitars, effects and vocals), Roberto Valle (Bass) and Andre Batucada (Drums, percussion and vocals).
A lot of brazilian music and others influences like Stereolab, Sade, Carly Simon, U2, 70's Rock...

O Cardume believes in the real spirit of the art. The art was invented to entertain, but first, to be a expression of culture, thoughts and soul of the artists.
