ATIVE came together in Salvador, Bahia, with a sound that pulls from Afro-Brazilian rhythms and modern beats. Their name means 'active,' which fits the energy in their music. The group includes Amabis Carvalho on vocals, Luiz Caldas on guitar, Rafael Barreto on bass, and Guto Cruz on drums.
They put out their first album, 'A Voz do Coração,' which mixed traditional Brazilian sounds with hip-hop and electronic touches. Later records like 'Axé de Fé' and 'Afropunk' kept exploring those roots. One of their well-known tracks is 'O que passou.'
They've kept making music that speaks to those themes.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
