The origins of Brazilian sertanejo duo Israel & Rodolffo date back to the early 1990s when their parents, two musicians who wrote jingles for political campaigns, discovered they had something in common: they both had children who loved singing. The two boys eventually hit it off and began singing at small parties and political events. By 1999, they had already cut a demo. In 2010, Israel Antonio Ribeiro and Rodolffo Matthaus da Silva Rios recorded their debut album Do Jeito Que Eu Queria, which became hugely popular in Brazil thanks to its title track and the single âMarca Evidente.â They followed up in 2013 with the full-lengths ImprevisÃvel and Na Terra Do Pequi. Produced by Eduardo Pepato and Fernando Trevisan Catatau, the album O Sétimo Sol saw the light in 2015. Israel & Rodolffo signed with the legendary label Som Livre in 2017 and embarked on a European tour shortly after. A year later, they returned with the LP Onde a Saudade Mora, which featured the radio hit âCoração de Quatro.â Subsequently, they scored the biggest hit of their career with the song âBatom de Cereja,â included in their 2021 live album Aqui e Agora - Volume 1. Released almost simultaneously with Rodolffoâs appearance on the 21st season of the reality show Big Brother Brasil, the track racked up millions of streams and showed up on several streaming charts. The duo continued their successful run of live LPs over the following years with Israel & Rodolffo: Ao Vivo em Brasilia (2022), Let's Bora (2023), and Termômetro (2024), whose lead single "Arruma Um Bão" peaked at number 23 on the Brazilian Billboard Singles chart. In 2025, Israel & Rodolffo opened a new chapter with Memórias, a hometown-centered live project recorded in Jaraguá, Goiás, where their career began, and introduced by the songs âNão, Mas Quaseâ and âVoltinha.â Later that year, they shifted into a bigger, more contemporary live format with Impulso, recorded in Goiânia, a project presented as a new phase for the duo and followed in 2026 by Impulso, Vol. 2, which brought in songs such as âHoje Não,â âDaà a Gente Conversa,â âNovidade do Verão,â and âAdivinha.â The Impulso era also moved onto the road in 2026 with a new tour built around the project, while standalone releases like âUm Dia Te Levo Comigoâ and âBoa Noiteâ kept their schedule active between larger audiovisual releases.
