Biography
14 Bis is a Brazilian pop-rock band formed in 1979 in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, by the brothers Cláudio and Flávio Venturini, Sérgio Magrão, Vermelho and Hely Rodrigues. They were mentored by Milton Nascimento. The band was formed when the members of two bands, O Terço and "Bendegó" decided to merge. Flávio Venturini and Vermelho, two founding members of 14 Bis, were also members of the Clube da Esquina band. The band took its name from Santos-Dumont's 14 Bis airplane. Música popular brasileira is a strong element in many of 14 Bis compositions. The influence of progressive rock and Caipira is evident in many of its compositions, such as in their use of analog keyboards and complex vocal arrangements. The group reached the peak of their success during the 1980s with notable compositions and performance of popular Brazilian songs. Due to the mild, often happy and soothing theme of many of its compositions, the band was quite popular among children.
