Volta Meu Amor

The song Volta Meu Amor, born from the pen of Alexandre Pires, invites us on a sonic journey that fuses rhythms like Pagode, Salsa, and Merengue, pillars of Brazil's rich musical tradition. With a duration of 3:19, this track encapsulates the essence of Só Pra Contrariar, a group that emerged in 1987, led by Pires himself and his brother Fernando Pires. Their musical proposal is nourished by samba, but expands it with diverse fusions, consolidating themselves as one of the key groups in the resurgence of this genre in Brazil.

The sound of Só Pra Contrariar, and particularly of Volta Meu Amor, is built on a solid rhythmic base, where percussion and bass set the pulse, while instruments like the saxophone contribute warm melodies. The band, which also featured talents like Serginho Salles on keyboards and Rogerio Viana on percussion, secured a contract with BMG International. This boost allowed them to explore collaborations, such as the one they had with Gloria Estefan on the song Santo Santo. The group's fifth album, released in 1997, was an important milestone in their career.
