Filipe Fiachra is a singer-songwriter from Salvador in northeastern Brazil. He started writing songs as a teenager, drawing from the local axé and funk rhythms he grew up with.
In 2012, his track "Corre Rapé" became a national hit. The song mixed samba with electronic elements, and its lyrics about drug use and social struggles connected with many listeners while also drawing criticism from conservative circles. Some accused him of glorifying drugs, which led to public debates about his work.
Beyond that single, Filipe Fiachra has other songs like "Esfrega," "Paranoia," and "Tendência" that show his range. He continued making music despite the controversies, using it to comment on the realities he saw around him.
