Sorriso Maroto wins the Latin Grammy for Best Samba/Pagode Album with project recorded at Abbey Road.
A historic achievement for the group
Last night, November 13, Sorriso Maroto made history and lived what they describe as the extraordinary. Bruno, Sergio Jr, Cris, Vini and Fred return from Las Vegas bringing home the Latin Grammy for Best Samba/Pagode Album for the project “Sorriso Eu Gosto No Pagode – Vol. 3 – Tribute to Fundo de Quintal, Recorded in London”.
Statement from Bruno Cardoso
For Bruno Cardoso, the award marked one of the most significant nights of the group’s career. “We feel, and we are sure, that all the effort, the persistence and the dedication were worth it,” he reflects.
“This album has many layers of meaning for us. First, recording at Abbey Road, which was a dream for the band. But we only achieved that because of Fundo de Quintal’s repertoire. Only a group like them could give us this opportunity. They are the greatest samba group of all time, inside the greatest studio of all time. And then the Grammy academy comes in and blesses this entire journey, a milestone in our 28-year career,” Bruno celebrates.
Recording at Abbey Road
The 13-track album was recorded in March of this year at Abbey Road, the iconic Beatles studio in London. It was the first time the venue hosted a samba circle, making Sorriso Maroto the first pagode group to record an audiovisual project there.
Project and influences
Beyond the award-winning edition, the “Sorriso Eu Gosto No Pagode” project includes three other volumes, each honoring artists who deeply influenced the group’s musical journey and shaped their artistic identity.
