A late-1990s Brazilian group whose socially conscious lyrics have drawn both criticism and support.
For a good sense of their approach, try 'Malandrinha' or 'Sombras da Noite.' Both frame what they do pretty well.
Their music pulls from samba, rock, and funk in a way that feels distinctly Brazilian, with tracks like 'Malandrinha' showing that mix in action. Some of their lyrics touch on social themes, which has sparked conversation over time. They've played with a lineup that included Chico César on vocals and guitar, giving their sound a particular texture.
They emerged in the late 1990s with a self-titled debut album in 1999. Records like 'Ao Vivo' in 2001 and 'De Volta ao Trem' in 2012 followed, with songs including 'Berço de Deus' and 'Cheiro do Mato' along the way.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
