Us Cara Samba formed in 2012 when four friends in Rio de Janeiro started playing samba together. They built an audience through local bars and street performances before releasing their debut album 'Samba Sem Fronteiras' in 2014. Their 2015 single 'Pagode da Alegria' became a national hit, giving the band wider recognition.
The group includes Rodriguinho on vocals, Marcelinho handling vocals and cavaquinho, Duda on vocals and guitar, Leandro on pandeiro, and Moacyr on surdo. They followed their debut with the 2018 album 'Além do Samba' and a 2021 album titled 'Pagode da Alegria'. Other songs in their catalog include 'Tentei Te Convencer', 'Parei pirei', and 'Volta Amor'.
In 2016, Us Cara Samba faced plagiarism accusations concerning their single 'Tombo da Tiffany', which they denied. They've continued releasing music since, including the 2019 single 'Arranca o Chão'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
