A Rio de Janeiro band that mixes samba, funk, and electronics across eight studio albums.
For a quick sense of their vibe, try 'Estica' or 'Serrote.' They're straightforward, rhythmic, and unmistakably Rio.
They built a sound that feels like Rio itself, blending samba rhythms with electronic beats and funk bass. Songs like 'Estica' gave them a breakthrough in 2005, and they've kept that groove alive on tracks such as 'Tempo Certo' and 'Medo de Você.' Their collaborations with names like Seu Jorge and Caetano Veloso show how they fit into Brazil's wider musical conversation.
They formed in Rio in the late 1990s with Fábio Brazza, Binho, Sidão, and DJ Deco, working through early financial struggles. The 2005 album 'Estica' brought a wider audience, and they've since released eight studio albums, with drummer Didi Gomes joining in 2013 while the core trio stayed constant.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
