From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sandy & Junior are a Brazilian pop music duo consisting of sister Sandy Leah Lima (born January 28, 1983) and brother Durval de Lima Junior (born April 11, 1984). They have two albums among the 10 best-sellers ever in Brazil.
Sandy & Junior began by singing children's songs and country-influenced tracks (their first single, "Maria Chiquinha", a classical country song, is one of the most remembered songs in the country). Once they reached adolescence, they changed their style to pop-influenced songs, mainly ballads and upbeat songs. The style-change was in 1997. They reached their peak between 1998 and 2001.
They had a self-titled weekly television series between 1999 and 2002 on Rede Globo and released the movie Acquaria in 2003; Sandy also starred the soap opera Estrela Guia (Globo) in 2001. Earlier, they had appeared in Renato Aragão movie O Noviço Rebelde, in 1997. Both have experienced solo work: Junior was the drummer of the band SoulFunk; Sandy, on the other hand, frequently sings without her brother. The duo announced on 17 April 2007 that an MTV Unplugged album to be recorded in May 2007 would be their final work together, through a video posted on their website addressed to their fans and in a press conference, stating also that their career as a duo would be over at the end of 2007. Their 17 years of career has granted them partnerships with several national and international artists, such as Xuxa, Roberto Carlos, Milton Nascimento, Toquinho, Gilberto Gil, Ivete Sangalo, Andrea Bocelli and Enrique Iglesias, and more than 15 million albums sold around the globe, making them the ninth best selling Brazilian artists of all time.
