Zhen formed in Porto Alegre in 2003, with Rodrigo Lima as the vocalist and guitarist. Their song 'Festa No Brasil (Vergonha Nacional)' came out in 2008 and became a point of contention, with its lyrics addressing social issues in Brazil. The band's sound pulls from punk and ska, mixed with Brazilian rhythms, and their writing tends toward a direct, conversational style.
They've put out albums like 'Festa No Brasil' in 2008, 'Vamo Abalar (Let's Rock)' in 2010, 'A Cidade Contra o Fascismo' in 2018, and 'Imperador e Ladrão' in 2022. Other tracks include 'Tudo Em Vão' and 'A Última Música.' Over time, the lineup has changed, though Lima has stayed with the group.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
