Bicalho

**Bicalho** is a Brazilian indie band known for blending breezy MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) traditions with modern indie rock and lo-fi textures. Hailing from Belo Horizonte, the group takes its name from a historic street in the city, nodding to their roots in Minas Gerais’ vibrant cultural scene. Emerging around 2018, they built a DIY ethos early on, crafting warm, layered tracks that mix poetic lyricism with hazy guitars and hypnotic rhythms. Their recent releases, like *Dia de Estúdio* and *Nuvan*, showcase their knack for balancing studio experimentation with organic, sun-drenched grooves, while *Paixão de Som* leans into their love for nostalgic, melodic storytelling. Often collaborating with local artists, Bicalho thrives on creating music that feels both intimate and expansive—a soundtrack for late-night drives or lazy afternoon hangs.
