Pelizari came up in São Paulo, Brazil, playing a mix of rock, funk, and Brazilian rhythms. Their track 'Combustão' became something of an anthem for them, and they put out an album with the same name in 2017. The band includes Davi Pelizari on vocals and guitar, Arthur Pelizari on bass, Felipe Zanuto on drums, and Bruno Massay on keyboards.
They followed that debut with albums like 'Estação Violência' in 2019 and 'Inferno' in 2021, working in some electronica and jazz alongside the Brazilian sounds. Other songs like 'livre' and 'sintonia (part. Camaleoa)' show the range they were going for.
Their lyrics and performances drew some criticism for being too explicit, but they kept at it without much compromise. The music stayed grounded in that São Paulo energy, even as it shifted across those records.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
