Tacy de Campos

Tacy de Campos came up in São Paulo with a band called Rebelde Sem Causa, which is also the title of one of her songs. They had trouble finding shows at first, playing a rougher kind of rock when other styles were more popular. Her music often dealt with social issues, which sometimes put her at odds with authorities. She kept writing and performing anyway, and songs like 'Nunca É Tarde' and 'Aneurisma' built a following in the city's underground scene.

Her band's lineup changed over time, with musicians like guitarist Rodrigo Santos and drummer Ricardo Lamin playing with her at different points. She was always the singer and main songwriter. The music stayed direct and guitar-driven, with lyrics that didn't shy away from difficult subjects. Tacy de Campos never really became a mainstream figure, but her work with Rebelde Sem Causa found its audience and held onto it.
