WAR (We Are Revolution) came together in São Paulo in the early 2000s. The band's sound pulls from rap, rock, and Brazilian rhythms, with Zeca Baleiro on vocals and guitar. Their 2007 song 'Avante Sonhador' became a kind of anthem, its title translating to 'Forward Dreamer.'
Other songs like 'Das Cinzas' and 'Revolução' show the band's focus on social themes. They've put out albums including 'Paz e Liberdade' in 2009 and 'Caminhos Cruzados' in 2017. The music often carries a direct, rallying energy.
Over time, WAR has worked with other artists like Manu Chao and Marcelo D2. Their lineup has included Rodrigo Tavares on guitar, José Renato on bass, and Felipe Boaventura on drums. The band's name itself points to their stance.
