Editor's note

Expressão Ativa's soulful Brazilian ballads

A Salvador band that built its sound through street performances and emotional MPB-influenced songs.

For their sound, start with 'Na Dor de Uma Lágrima' - the title track from their debut. 'O Homem Chora' gives you their emotional ballad style in a single song.

They formed in 2002 playing open mic nights in Salvador, and their debut album 'Na Dor de Uma Lágrima' established their blend of MPB and soul with rock touches. Songs like 'O Homem Chora' show their commitment to lyrical, emotional ballads that have maintained a consistent presence in Brazilian music for two decades.

They started with street performances in Salvador before releasing their 2008 debut album 'Na Dor de Uma Lágrima'. Since then they've put out several albums including 'Sem Medo de Sofrer' in 2010 and 'Pra Curar as Feridas' in 2020, with the current lineup featuring Igor Leal on vocals alongside Pedro Souza, João Santos, Lucas Silva, and Marina Almeida.
