Vou pro Sereno is a contemporary samba group that has become a beloved presence within Brazil's vibrant music scene. The group's formation dates back to 1997 in Rio de Janeiro, and over the years, Vou pro Sereno has garnered a dedicated fanbase through their modern take on traditional samba rhythms and their dynamic live performances. The band consists of Alex Sereno (tantã and banjo), Júlio César (pandeiro and vocals), Paulinho (reco-reco and vocals), and Rodrigo (cavaco and vocals). Together, they seamlessly blend classic samba tunes with a fresh, modern sound, maintaining the genre's rich heritage while also pushing its boundaries.

Despite being active for over two decades, it was not until more recent years that Vou pro Sereno achieved significant mainstream success. The group's discography features a mix of lively studio productions and electric live recordings, a testament to their musicianship and stage presence.

With their music, Vou pro Sereno pays homage to the stories and soul of Rio's favelas, contributing to the soundtrack of the city and the heartbeat of its communities. Their song "VPS Novelas," amongst others, demonstrates their influence on Brazilian popular culture, echoing the melodramatic flair of the nation's beloved telenovelas.
