An all-female group from the early '90s whose songs tackled bodily autonomy and patriarchal laws.
For a quick sense of their sound and stance, put on "Meu Corpo É Meu" or "Patriarchal Laws." They're the kind of songs that explain why this band still gets talked about.
Dominatrix carved out a space in Brazilian rock by putting feminist themes front and center. Their track "Meu Corpo É Meu" became a rallying cry about bodily autonomy, and songs like "Patriarchal Laws" directly challenged social norms. They weren't just making music; they were making a point, which sometimes sparked backlash from conservative corners.
The band formed in the early 1990s with Rosimary Campos on vocals and Carmen Lúcia Cordeiro on guitar. They released albums like "Liberdade para as Mulheres" in 1993 and "Só Pra Ficar Sozinha" in 1995 before breaking up in 2004. Campos and Cordeiro revived the name with new members in 2019, keeping the focus on women's issues.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
