Liss

Liss formed in Salvador, Bahia in the early 2000s around vocalist Vanessa da Mata and guitarist Felipe Camelo. Their 2005 debut album 'As Cores' gave them their breakthrough, with the title track becoming a hit that drew attention to their blend of Brazilian rhythms with folk and pop elements.

That debut established their sound, which would evolve across later albums like 'O Mundo Vai' and 'Beleza Rara.' Songs like 'Eu Só Queria Poder Voar' and 'Comprimidos Com Whisky' show their range from melodic introspection to more electronic textures.

Over time, the band worked as a fluid collective with musicians including bassist Bruno Melo and drummer Ivan Bessa. They've also collaborated with figures like Caetano Veloso and Marisa Monte, though their music has sometimes sparked conversations about cultural representation in Brazilian music.
