A Bahian band that turned lost love and coastal rhythms into reflective, melodic songs.
For their sound, start with 'Velhas Fotos.' For something later, try 'Felicidades, Problemas.'
They came out of Salvador da Bahia in 1999 with a sound that mixed samba, reggae, and rock, which felt natural for that coastal city. The 2005 song 'Velhas Fotos' became a hit, a melancholic track about memories that really connected. Later songs like 'Felicidades, Problemas' and 'Melhor do Que Você Pensa' kept that same reflective, melodic quality going.
They formed in Salvador in 1999, led by Aldo Rebouças, and started playing local bars before their self-titled debut in 2002. The 2005 album 'Velhas Fotos' marked a shift, with its title track becoming a hit about lost love. They kept releasing albums like 'Bala na Agulha' in 2009 and touring with a lineup that included Amanda Santiago on vocals.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
