A group of transgender women making music together in Brazil, with songs like 'Murro Na Costela do Viado' and 'Bunda de Pv'.
For a sense of their sound, try 'Bunda de Pv' or 'Murro Na Costela do Viado'. They're raw and direct, like a lot of their work.
A Travestis mattered because they were a collective of transgender women creating music in São Paulo when that was rare. Their songs, like 'Murro Na Costela do Viado' and 'Goza Em Cima do Meu Cu', had blunt, provocative titles that didn't get mainstream radio play. They performed in alternative venues and put out albums like 'Travesty' in 1994, carving out a space for themselves.
They formed as a collective and released 'Murro Na Costela Do Viado' in 1992, followed by 'Travesty' in 1994. Through the late 1990s and early 2000s, they kept putting out records like 'Trans' in 1997 and 'A Travestis Estão Soltas' in 1999.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
