Leocruz formed in Salvador, Brazil in 2012. The band's sound pulls from funk, samba, and reggae, anchored by vocalist Léo Santana. Their 2015 album 'Bem' included the title track that became a hit, along with songs like 'Carnaval a Dois' and 'Copo Cheio'.
In 2015, the band faced plagiarism accusations regarding their song 'Bem'. The group has also drawn criticism for lyrics and stage performances some found provocative, though they've generally kept performing without major changes to their approach.
Other members have included Maycon Fernandes on keyboards and vocals, Marielly Santos on vocals, and Guizado on guitar. They released albums in 2013, 2017, and 2019, with acoustic versions of some songs appearing alongside the original recordings.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
