Banda do Mar is a Portuguese/Brazilian band formed in 2013 by Marcelo Camelo (vocals/guitar), his wife Mallu Magalhães (vocals/guitar) and Fred Ferreira (drums).[1] The band was announced in May 2014 and their debut eponymous album was released in August 2014 and reached number 1 position on iTunes Brasil and number 2 on iTunes Portugal.[2] Since then, they are touring in support of the record. The name of the band is Portuguese for "Band from the Sea".
Mallu and Marcelo have been working together in their respective solo careers since they began dating in 2008, when Mallu sang "Janta" on Marcelo's debut solo album, Sou. "Janta" was chosen by Rolling Stone Brasil as the best brazilian track that year.[3] Later, in 2011, Marcelo Camelo produced Mallu's third album, Pitanga.
