A Rio de Janeiro collective whose music confronts inequality and political tension head-on.
If you want to get what Xaga is about, start with 'bandido' and 'Anjos e Demônios'. That's where their voice comes through clearest.
Xaga matters because they don't shy away from the hard stuff. Songs like 'bandido' and 'Antigolpe' put social and political themes front and center, drawing both support and criticism for their outspoken nature. They're one of those groups that makes you listen, whether you agree with them or not.
They formed in Rio around 2018, bringing together MCs like Xamã, Baco Exu do Blues, Djonga, and Sidoka. Their debut album came out in 2019, followed by tracks that keep digging into police violence, economic struggles, and injustice.
