Background notes
Archive material and source history
Lau Gomes came out of Recife, Brazil, where he formed a band that mixed reggae, funk, and rock. Their song "Hipocrisia" became known for its social commentary, connecting with listeners who felt overlooked. The band's debut album, also called "Hipocrisia," came out in 2001 and helped establish their presence nationally.
They followed that with albums like "Contramão" in 2003 and "O Som do Gueto" in 2006. The music often drew from Brazilian rhythms like samba and baião, alongside influences from reggae and rock. Their live shows were energetic, and the lyrics tended to focus on inequality and other social issues.
While the band faced some criticism from conservative circles in Brazil, they kept playing and recording. The lineup included bassist Marcelo Costa and drummer Beto Caldas, with Gomes as the frontman. Their sound stayed rooted in that blend of styles they'd worked with from the start.
