A Brazilian band that mixed reggae rhythms with samba and rock, anchored by the Lobato brothers.
For their range, try 'Mulher Primazia' and the early hit 'Prefixo de Verão'. Both capture that easy blend of groove and melody they did so well.
They landed a summer anthem with 'Prefixo de Verão' in 1991, a track that still echoes across Brazil. Songs like 'Bagdá' and 'Mulher Primazia' showed their knack for catchy melodies wrapped in thoughtful lyrics. Their music often carried a social edge, as heard in 'Revolta Olodum', keeping them relevant through lineup shifts.
Formed in Rio in 1988, they released a self-titled debut in 1990. Their sound evolved from reggae-pop to include funk and electronic touches, with André Lobato staying constant. They kept recording into the 2000s, putting out an acoustic album in 2002 and a 25th-anniversary set in 2013.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
