A Brazilian band whose music speaks to inequality and marginalization from the late 1990s onward.
If you're new to them, start with 'Eu Por Mim' for their signature sound, then try 'Os Livros Em Minhas Mãos' for something a little different.
Their most recognizable song 'Eu Por Mim' came from their 2002 debut, but their catalog digs deeper into the realities of urban Brazil. Tracks like 'Literatura Marginalizada' and 'Da Favela Pro Asfalto' directly address themes of social division and exclusion. They're not just making music, they're documenting a perspective that often gets overlooked.
M.O Manorelha formed in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1990s around vocalist Maurício Manorelha. They released albums like 'Vitória' in 2004 and 'Liberdade' in 2012, with Maurício continuing to perform and write even after a 2010 cancer diagnosis. The lineup has included percussionist André Siqueira, guitarist Pedro Henrique, and bassist Ricardo Oliveira alongside him.
