Móveis Coloniais de Acaju

Móveis Coloniais de Acaju was a vibrant Brazilian band known for its eclectic fusion of rock, ska, Brazilian popular music, and other global rhythms, tied together by an energetic brass section and a carnival-esque spirit. Formed in Brasília in 1998, the group quickly stood out for their engaging performances and their unique name, which references both a type of Brazilian wood typically used in traditional furniture-making and a historical event from the colonial period involving a fight between locals and invaders.

The band's discography showcases their evolution from early, playful experiments to a more mature, yet still joyous sound. Their album "Idem," released in 2005, introduced them to a wider audience and set the tone for their subsequent innovative releases like "C_Mpl_Te" (2009), a reference to both their complete and complex nature, and "De Lá Até Aqui" (2013), which highlighted their knack for catchy melodies and poignant lyricism. The live album "Ao Vivo no Auditório Ibirapuera" captures the essence of their dynamic and interactive live shows, a hallmark of the group. Singles like "Dois Sorrisos" and "Vai Thomaz no Acaju!" reflect the group's consistent dedication to producing music that is not only thought-provoking but also irresistibly danceable. Although they announced an indefinite hiatus in 2016, Móveis Coloniais de Acaju left a significant mark on the landscape of Brazilian music, characterized by their inventive sound, theatrical performances, and a communal bond with their audience.
