Background notes
Archive material and source history
Us-BR, short for Usina da Barra, came together in Salvador, Bahia around the mid-2000s. The band's sound pulled from axé, samba-reggae, and funk, with Meire Linhares handling vocals. Their 2005 single "Garota do Busão" caught on quickly and became a national hit.
They put out a few albums in those years, like "Nós Somos Us-BR" in 2005 and "O Baile do Us-BR" in 2007. Their live shows were known for being high-energy, and some of their lyrics and stage presence drew criticism for being too explicit. The music kept a connection to the party atmosphere of Bahian celebrations.
Beyond the core lineup with Linhares, the group included backing vocalists like Renata Ferreira and Duda Barreto. Their songs, including "Garota do Busão," stayed in rotation at festivals and parties in Brazil.
