Archive material and source history
Meretriz formed in São Paulo in 1988 with Marcos Kleine on vocals and guitar, Alexandre 'Xandão' Baptista on bass, and Daniel 'Dani' Weksler on drums. Their name translates to 'prostitute' in Portuguese, which set the tone for their approach from the start.
Their debut album 'A Menina Do Jornal' came out in 1990, with the title track becoming their most recognizable song. The band developed a reputation for raw, energetic live shows that matched the directness of their music.
Meretriz faced criticism and protests over their lyrics, and in 1999 they were arrested following a concert where authorities claimed they incited violence. Their sound later incorporated heavier elements while keeping their focus on social themes.
