A Salvador band from the 1980s that mixed samba with pop hooks about love and friendship.
For their sound, try 'Dor da Paixão' or 'Voltando pra ela.' They're straightforward examples of what the band did.
They came out of Salvador in the early 80s with a sound that felt specific to Bahia, samba and axé rhythms meeting pop arrangements. Songs like 'Dor da Paixão' became set staples, and their lyrics about everyday relationships connected with a local following. They kept releasing albums through the 90s, even as some of their gender portrayals drew criticism.
They formed in Salvador with singer Márcia Ferreira and put out their self-titled debut in 1983. Later albums like 'Amiga' in 1985 and 'Nosso Axé' in 1995 showed them sticking with their mix of Brazilian rhythms and pop. A live album arrived in 1990.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
