(forro)
Their repertoir includes more than 40 albums including covers of the biggest names in Brazilian music (
mpb
or música popular Brasileira/popular music of Brazil). Their music is full of lyrics which portray a true to life saga of the history and emotional experience of the people of the northeast. Love, marriage, the festas (celebrations/parties), and the vaquejadas (cattle roundups that usually take place at the end of winter).
They have had a number of hits with songs like:
"O Rei do Baralho" (the deck of cards river), "Eu Preciso de Você" (I need you), "Meu Vaqueiro, Meu Peão" (my cowboy, my cow hand), and "Tatuagem" (tattoos).
The group was formed in
1990
by
Emanuel Gurgel, leader of the band
Aquarius
who saw the lack of a band in the area that played only forró music. The name comes from the name of Gurgel's handball team in college, the team itself no longer exists. Mastruz is a medicinal herb often taken in Brazil and surrounding countries with milk(leite).

accordionist
Zé Wilson
drummers

Initially, Mastruz com Leite only played during the breaks of Aquarius's shows. They played their first solo gig at the Mangueira Clube, in Fortaleza, capitol of the state of Ceará where they were based. Later they decided to leave the capitol for more rurral areas, mainly playing in Quixadá, Iguatú Campos Sales. The band began to feel they were on the right track and decided to spread their music throughout the northeast, making their first appearance in Araripinha in the state of Pernambuco. It was never easy, even in the northeast their particular rhythms took a while to catch on. São Paulo in the southeast was a particularly tough nut to crack. The first time they were invited to play there the concert venue that contracted them had, at the time of the concert, not a single paying attendee. The audience consisted of the waiters, the owners, and the musicians. Today Mastruz com Leite attracts more than ten thousand people to their concerts in São Paulo, capitol of São Paulo state. In 2002 after twelve years of existance they toured outside Brazil for the first time, this being a U.S. tour that covered cities such as Stanford, New York city, and Revere. Later in 2003 they toured Europe, playing in Switzerland and Portugal, and twice in Italy, taking the culture of northeast Brazil worldwide. After seventeen years they're still going strong, playing their lively brand of forró.
Dor de Saudade
Mastruz Com Leite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Quase morri de tristeza
Amor e paixão
A lembrança da felicidade presente na solidão
Eu senti uma dor de saudade partindo o meu coração
Como um barco no rio sem vela dos outros se atrasa
Como um pássaro ferido na ponta da asa
Mais tarde ele voltou pra casa
Telefonei dizendo te amo
Mais tarde ele voltou pra casa
Ele se zangou e partiu no primeiro avião
Quase morri de tristeza
Amor e paixão
A lembrança da felicidade presente na solidão
Eu senti uma dor de saudade partindo o meu coração
Como um barco no rio sem vela dos outros se atrasa
Como um pássaro ferido na ponta da asa
Telefonei dizendo te amo
Mais tarde ele voltou pra casa
Telefonei dizendo te amo
Mais tarde ele voltou pra casa
Telefonei dizendo te amo
Mais tarde ele voltou pra casa
Telefonei dizendo te amo
Mais tarde ele voltou pra casa
Telefonei dizendo te amo
Mais tarde ele voltou pra casa
Telefonei dizendo te amo
" Dor De Saudade" is a song by the Brazilian band Mastruz Com Leite. The lyrics talk about a person who gets upset and leaves on the first plane, causing the singer to experience deep sadness and longing. The pain of missing someone is described as breaking the singer's heart. However, the story takes a turn when the singer calls and declares their love, leading the person to return home. The lyrics compare the feeling of being separated from a loved one to a boat without a sail or a wounded bird unable to fly properly.
This song explores the emotional rollercoaster of longing for someone who has left. It depicts the anguish and despair felt when love and passion are suddenly taken away, leaving a void that is filled with memories of happiness experienced during moments of solitude. The pain of missing one another is so intense that it feels like the heart is breaking. However, the lyrics also show that love and communication can bridge the gap and bring the person back, symbolizing the power of love to heal and reconcile.
