A Salvador group that mixed partido alto with funk and rock while singing about everyday life.
If you want to hear their blend of tradition and modern concerns, start with 'Desde Novinha' or 'Meu Partido'. Both songs capture that straightforward, grounded quality they were known for.
They took the traditional partido alto style and gave it a modern edge, blending in funk, rock, and reggae. Songs like 'Não Tô Legal' and 'Desde Novinha' tackled social issues without pretense, speaking directly to listeners in Brazil. Their music felt rooted in the streets of Salvador, not the studio.
They formed in Salvador in the mid-1990s, with a lineup that included Tonho Matéria on vocals and Kiko Dinorah on multiple instruments. Their self-titled debut came out in 2003, followed by albums like 'Indique Alguém' in 2005 and 'Do Brasil' in 2013. They kept recording and performing through the 2010s, staying consistent without much fuss.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
