Lellê is an Afro-Brazilian band from Salvador whose music draws from samba-reggae, batuque, and ijexá, mixed with pop and electronic touches. Their 2020 single 'Nega Braba' became an anthem for Black women's empowerment, and they've collaborated with artists like Maluma on 'Let's Summer' and Baco Exu do Blues on 'Preso Em Casa Cheio de Tesão'.
Their lyrics often address race, gender, and social justice, which has sometimes drawn criticism. The band's lineup includes Lellê Lumumba on vocals, Jéssica Lima on percussion, Júlia Rocha on bass, and Pâmela Ribeiro on drums.
They released albums like 'Axé das Pretas' in 2015, 'Beijo de Axé' in 2018, and 'Voz Ativa' in 2022.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
