A Brazilian band whose 1968 song 'Bolso Furado' gave voice to everyday economic struggles.
If you want to hear what they were about, 'Bolso Furado' is the one. 'Encruzilhada' and 'Sonhar' are good places to go next.
They weren't making big political speeches, but songs like 'Bolso Furado' about empty pockets and empty stomachs just felt real to people. That mix of samba, funk, and soul gave ordinary struggles a rhythm. It's why that song stuck around.
They started putting out records in the mid-60s, like 'Caceta' in 1965. By 1969's 'Balanço', they were still working that same groove, with members like Cartola and Carlos Cachaça on vocals and guitar.
