Velho Oliveira e Os Agregados

Velho Oliveira e Os Agregados formed in Cidade Tiradentes, a working-class neighborhood in São Paulo. Their music pulls from samba, funk, and hip-hop, a mix that came together in local community centers and street fairs while they were figuring out how to get shows. Their song 'Tu Tc da Onde?' became a kind of anthem, its lyrics about police violence and social inequality sparking debates but also connecting with people who recognized those struggles.

They've put out albums like 'Agregação' in 2005, 'Sucuri' in 2009, and 'Abaporu' in 2013. Other songs in their catalog include 'A Primeira Canção,' 'Ei Rapaz,' and 'Eu Quero Ir Junto Com o Sol.' They've worked with artists like Seu Jorge and Caetano Veloso.
