Background notes
Archive material and source history
Diogão Pereira fronts the band Dos Malandros e Das Madames, which formed in the early 1990s. Their music pulls from samba, funk, and reggae, and their songs often touch on social themes. One of their best-known tracks is 'Dos Malandros e Das Madames,' which shares the band's name.
They put out albums like 'Malandragem' in 1995, 'Favela Chic' in 2000, and 'O Baile do Malandro' in 2003. Pereira grew up in Salvador, Bahia, and his background in Afro-Brazilian traditions like samba and capoeira comes through in the band's sound.
Some of their other songs include 'Catarina' and 'Acadêmicos da Abolição 2017.' Their lyrics have drawn both praise for addressing social realities and criticism from some who felt they romanticized certain aspects of street life. Pereira kept writing regardless, using the music to talk about the communities he came from.
