Background notes
Archive material and source history
Banda Akira formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1997, with founding members André Moura, Bruno Prada, and Rodrigo Dias. Their breakthrough came in 2002 with the album 'Tudo Azul,' but it was the single 'Odeie o Jogo, Não o Jogador' that became their signature track, addressing sportsmanship in Brazilian football.
Their lyrics often tackled issues like racism and violence in the sport, which drew some criticism and legal threats. The band kept releasing albums like 'Quem É Você' in 2005 and 'Alma e Coração' in 2009, with songs such as 'Sou Foda' and '1 Up!' appearing in their catalog.
Beyond their music, Banda Akira's focus on respect in football resonated with fans and even drew praise from figures like Pelé. Their lineup grew to include Leo Castilhos on drums and rapper Marcelo D2, and they continued performing across Brazil.
