A Salvador group that mixed axé, samba, and reggae after forming as street musicians in 1985.
For their sound, try "Festa Profana." For their story, the 1997 single "Amor de Pai" still tells you plenty.
They came up playing on the streets of Salvador before signing with Universal and hitting with "Amor de Pai" in 1997. That song became a major Brazilian hit while stirring debate about how it handled fatherhood. You can hear their mix of local styles in tracks like "Festa Profana" and "O Que Será."
They started as street musicians in 1985, then released their debut album in 1997. Over the next decade, they put out records like "Melhor Pra Mim" and "Alegria de Viver," folding in axé, samba, and reggae along the way.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
