A Brazilian band mixing samba, reggae, and funk since the late 1990s.
For a good sense of their sound, try "Areia" or "Cavalo Manso." They're one of those bands that feels like a particular corner of São Paulo.
They've built a catalog that moves between São Paulo's streets and broader Brazilian sounds. Songs like "Areia" show their knack for rhythm that feels both grounded and expansive. Their occasional social themes have sometimes drawn attention beyond just the music.
They formed in São Paulo and released their first album, Caminho de Casa, in 1998. Later records like Tudo Vai Dar Certo and Sambatown followed, with a lineup that's included Luiz Antônio Guimarães on vocals and guests like Carlinhos Brown.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
