Da Cruz

Da Cruz is a vibrant Brazilian-Swiss musical collective fronted by the charismatic Mariana Da Cruz, known for fusing infectious samba, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, and electronic beats into a high-energy, genre-blurring sound. Since emerging in the early 2000s, their music has pulsed with social consciousness, blending dancefloor-ready grooves with lyrics that tackle inequality, resistance, and cultural identity. Tracks like "Bate Panela" and "Sistema Subversiva" showcase their knack for merging protest themes with carnival-ready energy, while releases like "Baladas da Luta" and "Disco e Progresso" highlight their experimental edge, weaving psychedelic textures and punk attitude into their sonic tapestry. With Mariana's electrifying stage presence and the band’s commitment to rhythm-driven rebellion, Da Cruz has carved a space where activism and celebration collide.
