Xamego Muleke formed in Belo Horizonte in 1999, playing local bars and community centers while building a following. Their lyrics often addressed social inequality, which sometimes drew attention from authorities. The band's lineup has included Alexandre Xameguinho on vocals and guitar, Márcio Márcio on bass, Nego Noronha on drums, Maurício Sette on keyboards, and Marcelo Bala on guitar.
Their 2007 album "Falange" brought them wider recognition, with the single "Cedo ou Tarde" becoming particularly popular. That song, along with others like "Nossa Chama" and "Paixão Proibida," helped establish their sound. They've continued releasing music, including albums like "Fome da Alma" in 2010, "Sobrevivendo no Inferno" in 2013, and "Oco" in 2017.
Xamego Muleke's music incorporates elements of reggae, samba, and hip-hop. Their work has resonated with listeners who appreciate both the rhythmic qualities and the social commentary in their lyrics.
