Background notes
Archive material and source history
Tambakillers formed in São Paulo around the mid-2000s, with Vítor Braz as their frontman and songwriter. Their debut single 'Aquarela' caught on quickly, helping them find an audience in Brazil. The band's sound pulls from Afro-Brazilian rhythms and electronic production, a mix that gave early tracks like 'Messias Nazista' and 'Trava-Língua' a distinct feel.
They've released several albums, including 'Samba Makossa' in 2006, 'TERRAPRETA' in 2009, and 'Vem Pra Cá' in 2016. The lineup has mostly stayed consistent with Braz alongside multi-instrumentalists Rodrigo Veloso, Marcio Lenhari, and Davi Corrêa. Their music has incorporated elements of funk and dub over time, though it's never settled into one category.
Tambakillers' lyrics and performances have drawn criticism at times, and their support for social and environmental causes has sparked both praise and backlash. They've toured in Brazil and internationally, but the focus has generally stayed on the music itself rather than any grand narrative about their place in it.
