Archive material and source history
Skina was an all-female Brazilian band fronted by vocalist Preta Gil. They formed in 2000 with bassist DaLua, drummer Marília Mendonça, and guitarist Paula Lima. Their self-titled debut album came out in 2002, mixing samba, funk, and soul.
They released six studio albums between 2002 and 2017, including 'É Bom pra Caramba' in 2003 and 'Sambalanço' in 2005. Their music sometimes drew criticism for addressing social issues, though the specifics of those controversies aren't well-documented in reliable sources.
One of their most recognizable songs is 'Vem pra Cá,' a dance track that became popular for its upbeat energy. The band's lineup centered around Gil's vocals and DaLua's bass work, creating grooves that pulled from various Brazilian rhythms without claiming any single tradition as their exclusive territory.
