Bangalafumenga, often enchantingly referred to as Banga, is a vibrant musical ensemble that has been a symbol of Brazil's rich and colorful music scene for years. The group, which was founded in Rio de Janeiro, breathes new life into Brazil’s traditional rhythms like samba, maracatu, frevo, and forró with a sprinkling of rock and funk that creates an irresistibly contemporary sound while staying rooted in cultural authenticity. With their high-energy performances and infectious melodies, Bangalafumenga has built a loyal following, embodying the spirit and diversity of Brazilian music and carnival culture.

Bangalafumenga is recognized for their spectacular performances during Rio's famous Carnival, where they lead one of the city’s most popular street block parties, or "blocos." Their music often features powerful percussion sections and is known to promote a sense of unity and joy among audiences. Recent releases, including "Bloquinho de carnaval" and "No Meio do Pitiú," capture the essence of their roots in street party rhythms, while the "ALÔ TESTANDO" EP series showcases the band's versatility and constant innovation. Whether stirring up the dance floor with "Batuqueira" or threading social messages through their lyrics, Bangalafumenga continues to be a beloved staple in Brazil’s music scene, earning them a revered spot among contemporary creators of Brazilian popular music.
