A Salvador samba group that mixed funk and reggae into their carnival-ready catalog.
If you need one track, it's 'Mas Que Nada'. For something later, try 'Moleque Danado' with Lucas Lucco, it's all there.
They came out of Salvador in 1999 with a sound that was pure Bahian street party, samba rhythms, but also funk and reggae grooves. Their debut single 'Mas Que Nada' became an instant signature, and later tracks like 'Tava No Fluxo (Avistei a Novinha No Grau)' kept that energy going. For a certain era of Brazilian pop, they were the soundtrack to the beach and the bloco.
They formed in 1999 with Neguinho do Samba on vocals and released 'Mas Que Nada' the next year. The band toured internationally and put out albums like 'Auê' in 2003 and 'Samba House' in 2006, though the lineup shifted over time. Later records included 'Nação Samba House' in 2012 and a 2016 carnival album.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
