Pão com Manteiga biography
Pão com Manteiga (Bread with Butter) was formed in the mid seventies by two musicians from São Vicente, São Paulo, Brazil. These were a bassist/vocalist who used the pseudonym 'Pierre' and an acoustic guitarist/viola player/vocalist who went under the name of 'Paulo Som'.
