A Rio de Janeiro duo whose explicit 2001 hit 'Tatu Caminha Atras' drew radio bans and national attention.
For their signature moment, 'Tatu Caminha Atras' tells the whole story. But 'Coração Caipira' and 'No Batidão da Viola' show they had more than one gear.
They captured a moment in Brazilian music when funk was pushing boundaries. 'Tatu Caminha Atras' became a national hit in 2001, but its lyrics about sex and drug use got it banned from radio. That controversy made them more than just another club act, it put their raw, energetic approach on the map.
They started performing together in Rio's local clubs in the late 1990s. 'Tatu Caminha Atras' from their debut album 'E Agora É o Funk' brought wider recognition in 2001. They kept recording songs like 'Efeito estufa' and 'A Imagem da gruta' that stayed true to their sound.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
