Zoey Ahauzo is a Brazilian samba band that formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1995. Their song 'Soldadinho' became particularly well-known, with its story about a soldier far from home. The band includes vocalist Zora Ahauzo, guitarist Joao Costa, percussionist Paulo Santos, and bassist Maria Souza.
They've released albums like 'Samba de Raiz' in 1997, 'Vozes do Samba' in 2001, and 'Soldadinho' in 2005.
In the early 2000s, some listeners questioned their approach to blending samba with other styles. The band has also been involved with social causes, though their music remains the main focus.
