Jovem Dionisio is a Brazilian musical group formed in 2019.

History of the band

The band formed in Curitiba, Paraná in 2012 as a cover band named Huff who occasionally played together at school parties.[1][2][3]

In 2019, they decided to produce their own music and named themselves after Senhor Dionisio, the owner of a bar where they used to meet.[2][3]

Following their first work, the EP Dança entre casais, in 2020 they were put under contract by Sony Music Brazil.[2][4] In 2022, they released their debut album Acorda Pedrinho, and its title song became a hit, ranking first both on Brazilian and Portuguese hit parade.[5][6] The same year, they received five nominations at the 2022 Multishow Brazilian Music Award, including the awards for best group and best song ("Acorda Pedrinho").[7]

Style

The band's style has been described as 'half indie, half pop, some sort of tropical dream pop, organic and gracefully indolent and millimetrically clumsy'.[3]
