Zuza is a Brazilian band from Salvador da Bahia, led by vocalist Juliana Castro. Their music draws on samba, reggae, and axé, creating a sound that feels both rooted in Bahia's traditions and open to other influences. They've released albums like "Malandragem," "Sintonia," "Deixa Falar," and "O Tempo Não Espera."
One of their notable songs is "Arrependida," which Castro wrote. The track deals with regret and moving on from difficult relationships, and it's become a point of connection for many listeners. The band's lineup includes Diego Freitas on guitar, Júlio César on bass, and Felipe Guedes on percussion.
Zuza has faced some skepticism in Brazil's music industry, particularly around Castro's role as a woman fronting a band. They've built an audience through live performances in Brazil and elsewhere, playing to crowds that respond to their energetic mix of rhythms and themes.
