A group that blends Afro-Brazilian rhythms with rock and hip-hop, often confronting social issues directly.
For a sense of their sound, try 'Tangendo a Dor' or 'Poço de Solidão'. Both tracks give you the blend of rhythms and the direct lyrical approach they're known for.
They've worked with Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Chico Buarque, which says something about where their music sits. Songs like 'Tangendo a Dor' show how they handle rhythm and subject matter without softening the edges. The music draws attention and debate, which isn't common in every corner of Brazilian music.
Xico Bizerra formed the band in 2005 in Salvador. They put out 'O Acender das Luzes' in 2007, 'Entroncamento' in 2011, and 'Oferendar' in 2022. The lineup includes Beto Jamaica on guitar, Pretinho da Serrinha on percussion, Gabi Guedes on bass, and Bruno Medina on drums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
