A Bahia group that turned 'Chiclete' into a party anthem in the mid-90s.
If you want to hear what Taxi was about, start with 'Chiclete.' For something later, try 'Te vad in toate femeile.'
Taxi's debut single 'Chiclete' landed in 1995 and immediately split opinions. Some found its lyrics provocative, but its mix of love and social commentary made it a fixture at Brazilian festivals. That tension, between criticism and popularity, kept them in the conversation for years.
They formed in Salvador in 1993 with Marcelo Nova on vocals. After 'Chiclete' hit, they put out albums like 'Energia' in 1996 and a live record in 2000, with Nova staying frontman as the lineup shifted. Their catalog grew to include songs like 'Te vad in toate femeile' and 'Cairo' across more than ten studio albums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
