Badaró Jambrass

Badaró Jambrass formed in 2002 in São Paulo, taking their name from a street in the city's downtown area. The group has worked with a changing lineup of musicians over time, including vocalist Marcos Valle, saxophonist Felipe Cazaux, and trumpeter Rodrigo Ursaia. They've also recorded with Brazilian artists like Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Seu Jorge.

Their music pulls from Afro-Brazilian rhythms, jazz, and funk, often built around horn arrangements and danceable grooves. Songs like 'African Queen' and 'Mademoiselle' show their approach to blending these styles. In 2018, they faced criticism for a video that was seen as portraying black women in an exoticized way, and the band later apologized.
