A Rio band that mixes funk, rock, and folk while navigating love, criticism, and life's small dramas.
For a quick sense of Naan, start with "Ela É Dessas", it's the song that defined their breakthrough, for better and worse. Then try "Viva Hoje" or "Vontade de Ficar" to hear how they handle love and daily life with a lighter touch.
Naan matters because they captured something specific about Brazilian youth culture in the 2010s, even when their mix of sounds made labels hesitate. The song "Ela É Dessas" became widely popular in 2015, though it also drew criticism for its lyrics about women. Their music, tracks like "Viva Hoje" and "Vontade de Ficar", keeps returning to relationships and the complications of everyday life, which gives their catalog a grounded, recognizable feel.
They formed in Rio de Janeiro in 2012, with Felipe Novaes on vocals and guitar. After "Ela É Dessas" took off in 2015, they released a self-titled debut album in 2016 and a second called "Tudo Novo" in 2019. Songs like "Vencer ou Vencer" and "Cachorro" show the band's range from upbeat to more reflective moods.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
