A Niterói samba group whose music carries direct political commentary within traditional rhythms.
For their blend of tradition and commentary, start with 'Este país é um circo' and 'A Sorte Está Lançada, Faça a Sua Aposta!', they show what this group does best.
Since forming in 1992 in the São Francisco neighborhood, they've built a catalog that works within samba traditions while addressing Brazil's social realities head-on. Songs like 'Este país é um circo' and 'Acorda Brasil' deliver political commentary without losing the groove. Their 1996 track 'A Sorte Está Lançada, Faça a Sua Aposta!' became something of an anthem, anchoring the album 'Samba Pra Gente de Bem' that brought them wider attention.
They formed in 1992 and gained notice with their 1996 album 'Samba Pra Gente de Bem'. Since then they've released albums steadily, including 'O Samba É Nosso' in 1999 and 'Da Nossa Raiz' in 2012. Their recordings sometimes incorporate elements from funk and reggae alongside the core samba rhythm.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
