Zuando Som formed in Fortaleza, Ceará in 2018 with vocalists Robson Pinheiro and Jakson Andrade, guitarist Vitor Lima, bassist Igor Morais, and drummer Felipe Barreto. Their 2019 single 'Batata Muito Doida' became a national hit with its simple, danceable beat and absurd lyrics about a potato. The song's success brought them attention beyond their hometown.
Their music pulls from forró, funk, and axé, and their live shows are known for being loud and energetic. They've cited Brazilian acts like Mamonas Assassinas and Os Trapalhões as influences, and that humor comes through in songs like 'A Bruxa Dag Dag' and 'Trânsito'. They've released albums including 'Batata Muito Doida' in 2019, 'Me Chama de Amor' in 2020, and 'É Só Batata' in 2021.
Some critics took issue with their lyrics, calling them vulgar and accusing the band of promoting questionable behavior. There were attempts to keep their music off the radio. Zuando Som defended their work as a reflection of everyday life in Brazil, and their popularity kept growing despite the pushback.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
