Editor's note

Camarão's samba-funk blend from 1980s Rio

A Brazilian band that mixed samba, funk, and soul through the 1980s and early 1990s.

For their mix of samba and funk, start with 'Tudo É São João'. 'Se Saudade Matasse' gives you their soul side.

Camarão's music captured a specific Rio de Janeiro moment where samba met funk and soul in live venues around the city. Their track 'Tudo É São João' shows that blend clearly, and their 1990 song 'Vem Balancear' became part of the city's nightlife soundtrack. The sound they built in those years still gets played and influenced later Brazilian artists working with similar grooves.

They formed in Rio in the early 1980s and released their self-titled debut in 1983. Records like 'Fruto Proibido' in 1985 and 'Sarapatel' in 1987 followed, with their 1990 album 'O Doce Balanço da Camarão' including the nightlife track 'Vem Balancear'.

Camarão was a Brazilian band that formed in the early 1980s in Rio de Janeiro. Their music mixed samba, funk, and soul, and they built a following through live performances around the city. Their debut album came out in 1983, simply titled 'Camarão', and they followed it with records like 'Fruto Proibido' in 1985 and 'Sarapatel' in 1987.

Their 1990 album 'O Doce Balanço da Camarão' included the track 'Vem Balancear', which became associated with Rio's nightlife. Their recorded work includes songs like 'Se Saudade Matasse', 'Tudo É São João', and 'É Proibido Cochilar'.
