A Bahia group known for 'Para Sempre' with Seu Jorge and a catalog that mixes funk and political lyrics.
For a quick sense of Dengaz, put on 'Para Sempre' with Seu Jorge, then try 'princesas' from their top songs. That gives you their range in a couple of tracks.
Dengaz matters because they've carved out a space where samba, funk, and rock meet, often with a Bahian pulse. Their 1998 track 'Para Sempre' featuring Seu Jorge remains a touchstone, and songs like 'princesas' and 'Quem És' show their knack for catchy, genre-blended grooves. They've never shied from political themes in their lyrics, which keeps their music grounded and sometimes contentious.
They formed in Salvador in the mid-1990s around Léo Gandelman, releasing 'Para Sempre' in 1998. Later albums like 'Tempo de Paz' and 'Coisa de Brasileiro' from 2019 show a steady output, with a lineup that's included Sérgio Rezende on bass and Fabrício Mota on keyboards.
