A Brazilian group whose music addresses police brutality and identity through samba, soul, and gospel.
If you want to hear what they're about, start with 'Meu Nome' for the social commentary and 'Revolução Jesus' for the gospel-soul blend. Those two give you the full picture.
Their song 'Meu Nome' sparked national conversation about police brutality and systemic racism in Brazil. That track, along with others like 'Revolução Jesus' and 'Judia,' shows how they weave social issues into their samba-soul gospel sound. They're not just making music, they're documenting a specific moment and place.
They formed in Rio's Cordovil neighborhood with a lineup that includes vocalist Batista Lima, drummer Bruno Queiroz, and guitarist Luciano Salvador. Their albums 'Meu Nome,' 'Nação Preta,' and 'Não Vai Ter Golpe' trace a path through themes of identity and social justice. The music keeps returning to those concerns, whether in early tracks or later ones like 'O Amor.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
