A Bahia group blending samba, afoxé, jazz, and electronics since the mid-1990s.
For a good sense of their mix, try 'Montes Claros' or 'Do que eu ainda sou capaz.' They frame the band's blend of rhythms and textures neatly.
They've quietly built a catalog that feels both rooted and exploratory. Songs like 'Montes Claros' mix Brazilian rhythms with jazz textures, and their albums, from the 1999 debut to 'Alquimia' in 2012, show a band working at its own pace. It's a sound that doesn't shout but sticks around.
André Lima and Jauperi started the band in Salvador in the mid-1990s, adding members like Guilherme Santana on bass over time. Their first album came out in 1999, followed by records like 'Matéria Prima' in 2003 and 'Luz Neutra' in 2007. They've kept a steady presence, releasing music when ready without much fuss.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
