Sandy talks about the end of the duo with Junior
"
We were in a meeting and, in a specific moment, we looked to each other and realized that this was the moment for both of us to follow our own paths. We were thinking about it for a while, but that moment was the one when we officialy decided that this would be our last record. The good thing is that we both felt the same thing at the same time."

TAM Magazine: Interview with Sandy
After 17 yers of success next to her brother, Junior, Sandy prepares the duo's farewell album and tour and practices her first solo steps with a tour sponsored by TAM.
Ever since she was little, Sandy Leah Lima has been a tightrope artist. Of the kind that lifts one foot only after the others lands on the tightrope. She walks steadily over the wire that appeared right after her first public appearance in 1989, next to her brother Durval Lima Junior. She, at the ages of just six years old, and him, five, enchanted the country on the
Som Brasil show, on Globo TV, upon singing the sound "Maria Chiquinha", an old success by their maternal granparents Zé do Rancho and Mariazinha. Like Chitãozinho and Xororó, the duo's uncle and father respectively, Sandy and Junior started the artist life while still children, but with a lot more spotlights than their country relatives.
From the opening
Aniversário do Tatu (Polygram, 1991) until now, Sandy and Junior released 15 albums and six DVDs. According to the duo's official fan club web site, there were more than 15 millions copies sold, eight mega tours, 1700 shows throughout Brazil and the world, two movies, one soap opera, five years in a TV series on Globo TV and more than 300 licensed products. Despite having accomplished more than most pop artist even dream of, the siblings announced in April that their career togheter has ended. Or better, it ends after the release of the
Acústico MTV CD and DVD and its publicity, which will take place until the end of this year. "Whe couldn't simply turn our backs and say good-bye after such a long time. We are going to say good-bye personally to our fans with our last tour. It is the way we found to say thanks a lot for everything", states Sandy in an exclusive interview to
TAM Magazine.
