Background notes
Archive material and source history
Oruã formed in 2008 as a collective of musicians from different backgrounds. Their sound pulls from funk, soul, and Afrobeat, which didn't always fit neatly with what Brazilian radio was playing at the time. They put out an EP in 2012 and an album called 'Caminho' in 2014.
That 2014 album included 'Disciplina,' a song that caught on nationally. Its lyrics dealt with inequality and oppression, and it became something of an anthem. Other tracks like 'Escola Das Ruas' and 'Santo Amaro' followed a similar thread, often focusing on social themes.
They released more albums in 2017 and 2020. Their performances sometimes drew criticism from conservative groups, and in 2016 a festival appearance was canceled over concerns about their lyrics. The band kept working, with a lineup that has included Bixiga 70 on vocals and guitar.
