A Fenda formed in 2017 in Amapá, Brazil, with vocalists Edilene Cruz and Tarcila Tavares joined by guitarist Felipe Pamplona, bassist Felipe Prata, and drummer Felipe Monteiro. Their debut single 'Ela Me Prende' became a hit, establishing them in the brega genre. They've released albums like 'Faroeste Caboclo' in 2019 and 'Treme Terra' in 2022.
Their music draws from Amapá's traditional rhythms while incorporating modern beats, with songs like 'Onde Estão Seus Heróis?' and 'Elixir' reflecting this blend. In 2020, they faced criticism for cultural appropriation related to indigenous elements in their music, which they acknowledged and addressed.
The band's lineup has stayed consistent, with Edilene and Tarcila's vocals supported by the instrumental work of the three Felipes. Their sound continues to resonate with audiences across Brazil, maintaining a focus on collaborative music-making without dramatic shifts in their approach.
