Background notes
Archive material and source history
Meri Elen formed in Rio de Janeiro around 2009, with vocalist Elisa de Wendlingen and bassist Rodrigo de Castro at the center. Their music pulls from Brazilian rhythms like samba and funk, then mixes in punk energy and electronic textures. It's a specific kind of hybrid that doesn't sound quite like anything else coming out of Brazil at the time.
Their debut album 'Modo Zumbi' came out in 2012 and gave them a national profile. They followed it with 'Além do Bosque' in 2014 and 'Para Dias Melhores' in 2017. The band's lineup included drummer Tiago Rocha and guitarist Eládio Gandra alongside Wendlingen and Castro.
Some of their lyrics and performances drew criticism for being explicit or provocative, but they kept working. The music itself was the main thing, a collision of styles that felt both local and restless.
