The Road to Recognition
Cais was founded in 2011 by three friends from the bustling metropolis of São Paulo: Luiza Lian, Rodrigo Silvestrini, and Matheus Santos. United by a shared passion for honest storytelling and evocative melodies, they embarked on a journey filled with challenges and triumphs.

Controversy and Redemption
In 2014, Cais released their debut album, "Cais." While critically acclaimed, the album also sparked controversy due to its controversial album cover, which depicted a man holding a gun. The band faced backlash from some quarters but remained steadfast in their artistic vision.
Undeterred, Cais went on to release their sophomore album, "Estrada," in 2016. The title track became an instant hit, propelling the band to national and international acclaim. The album's raw and honest exploration of themes such as love, loss, and the search for meaning resonated with audiences worldwide.
