Teknik came out of São Paulo in the early 2000s with a sound that mixed Brazilian funk and hip-hop. Their debut album 'Acredita' arrived in 2003, and the title track became a major hit. The song 'Acredita' had an uplifting quality that connected with people across Brazil.
The band's lineup included MC Tyllo on vocals, DJ Hum on production, Naldo Benny on guitar, and Skunk on bass. They worked with other São Paulo acts like Charlie Brown Jr. Over the next decade they put out albums like 'Respeito é a Lei' in 2005 and 'Na Quebrada' in 2012.
Another track, 'Não É Assim,' shows their approach to blending funk rhythms with straightforward lyrics. In 2018 they released '15 Anos de Acredita,' marking the anniversary of their breakthrough song.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
