Archive material and source history
A Placa is a Brazilian band that formed in the early 2000s in the Santa Teresa community of Rio de Janeiro. Their music mixes punk, reggae, and hip-hop, with lyrics that often address social issues like corruption and inequality.
In 2008, they released the single "Mentira," which became a hit in Brazil. The song's direct critique of political lies resonated widely, helping the band gain a national audience. They toured after that and put out albums such as "Santa Teresa" in 2005 and "O Som da Cidade" in 2012.
Their work is known for its raw sound and social commentary, and they've been involved in various activist efforts beyond music.
