The Family That Sings Together: The Camargos

The other Camargo brother sold tens of millions of records. He is not in the show.

Netflix dropped all five episodes of The Family That Sings Together: The Camargos on December 9, 2021, and Brazilian viewers clocked the hole immediately. Luciano, the other half of Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano, does not appear. Zezé told UOL Splash the first idea was a 30-year anniversary web series, The Zezé Di Camargo and Luciano Song I Wish I Had Sung, with names like Thiaguinho and Marília Mendonça covering the catalog. Then Luciano started a gospel project. Zezé said he could not launch a duo celebration that would collide with it. "I thought of doing a reality about us, latestnetflix.com maintains, and Netflix bought that fight."

What Netflix bought is a father and daughter record, shot mostly at the family's É o Amor farm in Araguapaz, Goiás, during pandemic quarantine. Ricardo Perez directed for Ventre Studio. Zezé, Wanessa, and Wanessa's husband Marcos Buaiz take executive producer credits. The English title is a slogan. The Portuguese title, É o Amor: Família Camargo, is the 1991 hit that made the brothers famous and later scored the film Two Sons of Francisco.,,,

They built a studio in the house and called it an album.

Wanessa told O Popular the family made a conscious choice to do the series because, in recent years, they had been known through a version of the story that was not how things actually were. Recording Pai & Filha, she said, mattered for the relationship. Being Zezé's daughter is intimidating. Working with him, she felt he respected her as an artist, and that felt like magic. Zezé wanted people to see "a family like any other." The album landed December 10, the day after the show, with a Papatinho urban remix of É o Amor sitting on the track list.,

Guests wander through the farm as if it were a Sunday lunch that never ends. Paula Fernandes, Léo Santana, Thiaguinho, Felipe Araújo, Tiago Abravanel, the former footballer Denilson, Cleo Pires, Priscila Fantin. Episode 3 sends Zezé and Graciele Lacerda, 18 years younger than him, to a fertility clinic. The official Netflix Brasil trailer sells the album and the hugs. The episodes sell the rest.,

The ex-wife is on a video call from Miami.

Zezé and Zilu Godoi split in 2012 after 32 years. Notícias da TV walked the series as a document of the singer's affairs and a bruising divorce, not a whitewash, even with the family producing. On camera Graciele, often framed as the marriage wrecker, says he always had permission to do whatever he wanted, and that the word that hurts is the claim she destroyed the marriage. Wanessa, who testified against her mother in the asset fight, says the fights were always about her father's fidelity and that living in that war was the hard part. Zilu, interviewed from Miami, says they now speak only through lawyers, and that if she had known the path her life would take she would have stayed anonymous. One episode puts the ex-couple on a video call anyway.

The ghosts the show names include Welington Camargo's 1998 kidnapping, Francisco José de Camargo's death in November 2020, and the old Wanessa-versus-Sandy comparison from the start of her career. Decider told American subscribers to stream it for the access and the family grandstanding. IMDb has it at 5.4. TMDB lists the series as Ended after those five episodes. Luciano's absence is still the first thing people asked about.,,
