A Salvador group that mixed personal stories and social themes over two decades of albums.
For a quick sense of them, try 'Aquela Vontade Louca' or 'Cinderela da Favela'. They're both straightforward and carry that Bahian feel.
They formed in Salvador in 1992, pulling from the traditional rhythms Neandro heard growing up. Songs like 'Aquela Vontade Louca' and 'Cinderela da Favela' show their style, and their lyrics on topics like domestic violence drew criticism but they kept playing them. That local resonance and stubborn honesty give their catalog its weight.
They started with the 1994 album 'Quem Ama Não Machuca' and kept releasing records through 2015's 'Esperança'. The shift from early tracks to later ones like 'Depois de Cinco Copos Vazios' suggests a steady, unflashy evolution in their songwriting.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
