Pedro Paulo & Alex are a Brazilian instrumental duo known for their work in contemporary instrumental and easy-listening music, often associated with the genres of lounge, bossa nova, and smooth jazz. Originating in Brazil, they emerged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as performers and arrangers specializing in melodic, guitar-led interpretations of popular Brazilian and international songs, frequently incorporating lush string arrangements and orchestral backing. Their recordings emphasize polished production, romantic and atmospheric moods, and accessible melodies aimed at a broad listening audience, reflecting a crossover between traditional Brazilian rhythms and mainstream instrumental pop aesthetics.
