Zaika dos Santos was a Brazilian band formed around vocalist and guitarist Zaika Oliveira, with Juliano Barros on bass, Ricardo Oliveira on drums, and Breno Mello on keyboards. They released their debut album 'Acorda' in 2016, which included the song 'Acorda, Menino' that became widely known.
Their music drew from Brazilian rhythms like samba and bossa nova while incorporating pop and rock elements. The track 'O Ciclo' appeared on one of their later albums, showing their continued work in this style.
They followed up with albums 'Dois' in 2018 and 'Três' in 2020. The band was known for addressing social themes in their lyrics and participating in various activist causes, which sometimes brought them attention beyond just their music.
