Burnier & Cartier, the Brazilian duo of Octávio Burnier and Claudio Cartier, emerged in the 1970s with a distinctive fusion of Música Popular Brasileira (MPB), soul, jazz, disco, and boogie. Their 1974 self-titled debut album, produced with contributions from Arthur Verocai and Burnier's uncle, Luiz Bonfá, showcased intricate guitar arrangements and layered vocals, creating an airy, floating vibe reminiscent of Steely Dan. The album has been championed by artists like Jazzanova and Floating Points and sampled by Andres and Kaytranada. Their innovative sound continues to influence contemporary music.
