LUI

LUI is a Brazilian band that formed in 2013. The group includes Lucas Malvacini on vocals, Felipe Asmar on guitar, Lucas de Castro on bass, Rafa Luz on drums, and Victor Ferreira on keyboards. They built an audience through live shows and social media before breaking through with their 2017 single 'Positivo (part. Dan Vasco).'

That track became one of the most played songs on Brazilian radio that year, mixing pop and funk with Brazilian rhythms. Other songs like 'Não Aprendi Dizer Adeus' and 'Comigo Ninguém Pode' show their range within that style. Some listeners have questioned how much they lean on electronic production, but the band has kept working in their own lane.

They haven't shied away from straightforward, danceable material either, as tracks like 'É Foda' and 'Ei, Moço' suggest. The group's sound has evolved since those early days, but they haven't strayed far from the blend that first connected with people.
