Os Zing came out of Salvador, Bahia, with Juliana Sinimbú on vocals. Their song 'Gazolinas' became a notable single in 2016, followed by albums like 'O Mundo É Nosso' in 2017 and 'Futuro' in 2019. The band included Letieres Leite on saxophone and flute, Marcos Clement on guitar, Vinícius Melo on bass, and Bruno Cheib on drums.
Their music drew from Afro-Brazilian rhythms, which sometimes drew criticism from traditionalists. The lyrics, often about social issues and women's empowerment, sparked debate. In 2018, a video of Sinimbú burning a Brazilian flag during a performance caused national outrage, with the band defending it as a political protest.
In 2020, Sinimbú was arrested for alleged drug possession, though the charges were later dropped. The band released another album, 'Identidade', in 2021. They had other songs like 'Mesma Mina' in their catalog.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
