They recorded four more LPs on the same label, among them “Cama Fria”, which earned them the great and long-awaited “Disco de Ouro” award.
In 1982 they ended their contract with RDG, moving to the Chantecler label, where they stayed for four years and recorded four LPs, “Sinal Fechado”; “Long night; “Love that is worth a million”; and"Loving Hidden".
