Z'África Brasil formed in 1995 as a collective of musicians. Their music draws on Afro-Brazilian rhythms, and songs like 'Mano Chega Aí' and 'A Cor Que Falta Na Bandeira Brasileira' often address social themes. The band includes members like Carlinhos Brown on vocals and percussion, Mateus Aleluia on vocals and percussion, and Marcio Mello on bass.
They've released albums including 'Z'África Brasil' in 1996, 'Nagô' in 1998, and 'Raíz' in 2001. Later records include 'Guerreiros da Luz' from 2003 and 'É Tempo de Libertar' from 2019. Other tracks in their catalog are 'Hip-hop Rua' and 'Antigamente Quilombo, Hoje Periferia'.
Their work has connected with audiences interested in cultural expression and social commentary. The music remains part of a broader conversation in Brazilian arts.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
