Nacortic Sound formed in São Paulo in the early 2000s with Saulo Fernandes on vocals, Leo Reis on guitar, André Fiorentini on bass, and Pedro Garcia on drums. Their sound mixed samba, funk, and hip-hop, and in 2006 their single "Dança Bonito" became a hit in Brazil. They released four studio albums between 2006 and 2017, starting with "Semente" in 2006 and ending with "Não Sou Um Herói" in 2017.
In 2009, Garcia left the band and was replaced by drummer Rodrigo Silveira. Their lyrics sometimes addressed social and political issues, which drew criticism from some groups. In 2011, they faced plagiarism accusations over the song "Menina de 16," though the claims were eventually dismissed.
Over time, their music incorporated elements of reggae, soul, and jazz. They collaborated with artists like Caetano Veloso, Marisa Monte, and Gilberto Gil. Another of their well-known tracks is "Mamasita."
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
