Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zirinha a Fanha formed in Rio de Janeiro around the mid-2000s with three members: frontman André Kurtiz, bassist Alexandre "Toffolo" Maia, and drummer Fernando "Fritz" Oliveira. Their name came from an early performance where Kurtiz knocked over a fire extinguisher, sending foam into the audience, which became a local punk scene story.
Their music mixes punk, ska, and funk with lyrics that often touch on drug use, mental health, and political corruption. This approach has drawn both fans and criticism, with some finding it provocative and others seeing it as gratuitous. Their song "Trás o Extintor" became something of an anthem for this style.
They've released albums like "Mundão de Cabeça pra Baixo" in 2007, "Febre" in 2011, and "Samba do Extintor" in 2015. Over time, they've incorporated jazz, reggae, and Brazilian rhythms into their sound. Another track, "Periquito Limpo," shows their range within this evolving mix.
The band has faced some censorship and pushback from conservative groups in Brazil due to their lyrics and performances. They've worked with musicians from Ratos de Porão, among others, which has influenced their direction.
