14 Bis is a Brazilian pop-rock band that took flight in the late 1970s, soaring through the Brazilian music scene with their distinctive blend of progressive rock, pop, and Brazilian folk music. Named after the famous Santos-Dumont's aircraft, the 14-bis, which symbolizes the Brazilian pioneer spirit and the capacity to dream and achieve, the band has lived up to this legacy with their enduring success and musical innovation.
The band's inception can be traced back to the state of Minas Gerais, where they emerged from the Clube da Esquina movement, which also produced renowned Brazilian musicians like Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges. The original lineup of 14 Bis consisted of Flávio Venturini, Vermelho, Cláudio Venturini, and Hely Rodrigues. Their sound, characterized by harmonious vocals, poetic lyrics, and sophisticated melodies, quickly won them acclaim in their homeland. Over the years, they have remained a mainstay in Brazilian music through numerous albums and live performances, as highlighted by their releases such as "14 Bis (Acústico) [Ao Vivo]," "14 Bis Ao Vivo," and the collaborative work "Boca Livre e 14 Bis (Ao Vivo)." The longevity of 14 Bis attests to their deep connection with their audience and their ability to adapt and evolve while maintaining the essence of their artistic identity.
