Nanny Costa formed in Brazil during the mid-1990s, with Maria Costa on vocals. Their debut single 'Basta Uma Palavra' became a national hit. The band released five studio albums between 1997 and 2010, including 'Deixa Acontecer' and 'Alma'.
Their music mixed pop, rock, samba, and funk. Songs like 'Conquista' and 'Como Rei Davi' showed their range. The lineup changed over time, with Maria Costa remaining the constant voice.
Nanny Costa's lyrics sometimes addressed social and political topics, which drew criticism along with praise. They were known as a female-fronted group in a scene where that wasn't common. The band stopped releasing new music after 2010.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
