A Bahian band mixing axé rhythms with street-party energy since the early 2000s.
For their mix of frevo and street-party funk, start with 'Porteiro de Motel' or 'Carro Pokemon', they capture that Salvador energy plain and simple.
They carved out a space where frevo and axé met funk and hip-hop, making songs like 'Porteiro de Motel' local anthems at Salvador's street parties. Their lyrics often reflected daily life in the city's neighborhoods, which sometimes drew criticism but kept their sound grounded. Tracks like 'Beba Quik Mas Não Beba Nescal' and later 'Saudade de Uma Festa' maintained that percussive, upbeat style for over a decade.
Formed in Salvador in the early 2000s with Márcio Victor on vocals, they released albums like 'O Rei da Cacimbinha' in 2006 and 'Vem Pro Cabaré' in 2007. By the 2010s, Amanda Santiago had joined on vocals alongside Victor, and they put out 'A Gente Tá Tocando' in 2012. They marked their ten-year anniversary with a 2016 album, keeping their lineup and sound consistent through the years.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
