A São Paulo band that mixed indie rock, psychedelic pop, and samba rhythms in the late 1990s.
For a good sense of their sound, try 'Homem-Rã' or 'Polaróide'. They hold up because the music was specific to their moment and place.
Their sound felt distinct from much of Brazilian music at the time. Songs like 'Homem-Rã' and 'Polaróide' show their melodic but off-kilter approach. The lyrics often touched on personal and difficult subjects, which set them apart from more conventional pop.
Oh! formed in São Paulo in the late 1990s around vocalist and songwriter Alexandre Fraga. Their debut album was called 'O Mundo Vai', and they released other albums including 'Disco Singles' and 'Corredor Polonês'. They developed a reputation for energetic live shows and maintained a dedicated following.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
