A Banda Mais Bonita da Cidade

A Banda Mais Bonita da Cidade (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐ ˈbɐ̃dɐ ˈmajs boˈnitɐ dɐ siˈdadʒi], 'The Most Beautiful Band in Town') is a Brazilian MPB/indie rock band that gained popularity in late May 2011 following the release of its music video "Oração" ("Prayer") on YouTube. The video received more than 4.9 million views in three weeks, and it became highly publicized by the Brazilian press after MTV named it video clip of the week. Shortly thereafter, a number of English-language news sources, including The Washington Post and NPR, drew international attention to the band.
