They formed in 1992 with a lineup that included vocalist Guinga and percussionist DaLua, crafting a sound that felt both rooted and contemporary. Songs like "Carrinho de Mão" drew attention for its working-class themes, while their energetic live shows built a following in Brazil. Tracks such as "Coração sem Dono" and "Desce pra Mim" show their range within that blend of traditional rhythms and modern influences.
The band started in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, mixing samba with rock, funk, and soul. They faced financial difficulties and debates about direction but kept performing, with songs like "Hora da Partida" and "Na Manteiga" showing their approach over time.
