Zanine is a Brazilian band that started in 2014 with three friends: André Vasconcelos on vocals and guitar, Felipe Gadelha on bass and vocals, and Victor Neiva on drums and percussion. They put out their first album, simply called 'Zanine', in 2016. Their music pulls from samba, funk, and pop, and they've kept that core lineup steady.
Their song 'Vou Sextar' got a lot of attention, partly for its catchy rhythm and partly because the lyrics stirred up some talk. The phrase 'vou sextar', which roughly means 'I'm going to sext', was seen by some as playful and by others as provocative. The band has said it's more about escapism and everyday realities than anything else. Other tracks like 'Referência de Amar' and 'Distância' show up in their setlists too.
They've released a couple more albums since that debut: 'Um Lugar Pra Ficar' in 2018 and 'Serenata Lunar' in 2021. There's not a huge dramatic arc to trace here, just a band making records, playing shows, and sometimes getting people talking.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
