Selma Light is a Brazilian duo from Rio de Janeiro, formed in 2018 by vocalist Selma Reis and producer Ana Paula Barbosa. They work in a space between funk carioca and electronic pop, with songs like 'Escândalo (Dj André HQ Mix)' and 'Insana' getting attention for their danceable energy.
Their 2018 track 'Escândalo' became a breakout hit, especially in its remixed form. The duo has kept releasing singles since then, including 'Arrasa, Mona!' and 'Liberada,' which carry on with their mix of Brazilian rhythms and club-ready production.
Some of their lyrics and performances have drawn criticism, but they've also been recognized for songs that touch on themes of empowerment. The MTV Millennial Awards Brazil gave their 'Escândalo' video an award in 2019.
They've worked with other Brazilian artists like MC Kevinho and Pedro Sampaio, and their sound continues to pull from funk traditions while leaning into electronic arrangements.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
