OhJow was a Brazilian band that played samba with funk rhythms. Their song 'Amor de Carnaval' became popular during Carnival celebrations. The group included Dudu Nobre on vocals, Rogê on drums, Marcelo Caldi on guitar, Marcelinho Moreira on bass, and Mauro Refosco on percussion.
They released their first album in 1995, followed by 'Amor de Carnaval' in 1997 and 'Ritual' in 1999. Other songs like 'Ilha Dos Namorados' and 'Paraíso Perfeito' show their mix of samba and funk. Some traditional samba listeners initially resisted their sound.
OhJow's music was known for its danceable grooves and connection to Brazilian Carnival. They recorded a live album called 'Vivo' in 2001 and put out a collection called 'Samba Funk Brasil' in 2003.
