Background notes
Archive material and source history
XLII formed in Rio de Janeiro in 2003, with Bruno Ribeiro on vocals, André Dias on guitar, Pedro Henrique Oliveira on bass, and Felipe Daniel on drums. They started playing in the city's favelas, though their sound didn't fit neatly into what most venues were booking at the time.
Their debut album came out in 2006, anchored by the track 'Minha Festa, Pá.' That song caught on and gave them a wider audience. They've put out records fairly steadily since then, including 'Pra Começar' in 2008, 'O Mundo É Nosso' in 2010, and the two 'Tudo Nosso' albums in 2013 and 2018.
Their songs often touch on life in the neighborhoods they came from. Tracks like 'Penumbra' and 'Rivotril' reflect that, with lyrics that can be direct about social conditions. The band writes together, pulling from what they see around them.
