Valuá formed in São Paulo in 2013, with Felipe Franco, Luiza Lara, and Vinicius Zorzi coming together around a shared interest in music. The band's name comes from a Tupi-Guarani word meaning 'vibrant colors.' They started playing small shows around the city, building a local audience before releasing their first album in 2015.
In 2016, Valuá released 'Veneno' featuring Potyguara Bardo, a song that brought them wider attention. The track appears alongside others like 'Dança' and 'Sinais' in their catalog. They've put out several albums since then, including Terra Vermelha in 2017, Ciclo in 2019, and Água Viva in 2022.
The group's music draws from various Brazilian styles, with Felipe Franco handling vocals and guitar. Their songs often touch on social themes, though they've kept making music through different phases without much dramatic framing.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
