Editor's note

Bala Desejo's layered Brazilian sound

A Salvador-based band blending samba, reggae, and poetic lyrics since 2015.

For a good sense of their layered, poetic side, start with 'Lua Comanche' or 'Passarinha'. That's where their sound feels most fully realized.

They're not just another Brazilian group recycling old formulas. Songs like 'Passarinha' and 'Lua Comanche' build intricate arrangements around poetic lyrics, and their unconventional approach has drawn both fans and critics. Dora Morelenbaum and Julia Mestre have also pushed conversations about gender equality in the scene, giving their work a dimension beyond the recordings.

The band formed in 2015 around vocalists Morelenbaum and Mestre with a core lineup of musicians. They put out a debut album in 2018, then followed with Sim Sim Sim in 2022. They've kept working from their base in Salvador, performing and recording steadily.
