71NICIUS formed in 2014 around singer-songwriter Nicoli Alves. Their 2017 single 'Adiantando o Lado' brought them wider attention in Brazil, with its mix of hip-hop, funk, and soul rhythms paired with lyrics that often touched on social themes.
After that breakthrough, the band's lineup shifted when founding member MC Nene departed in 2019. Alves took on more songwriting and production duties, and their sound began to incorporate other influences like jazz and reggae. They released albums like 'Passado e Presente' in 2020 and 'Meu Tempo' in 2021.
Songs like 'Amor e Fé,' 'Moradia,' and 'Senta Que Lá Vem História' show their range from romantic themes to more grounded storytelling. The group includes Fabiano Oliveira on guitar, Felipe Guedes on bass, and Luiz Drumond on drums alongside Alves.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
