Satanique Samba Trio is a Brazilian avant-garde music group known for their iconoclastic interpretations of samba music infused with a sense of the absurd and the experimental. Founded by bandleader Munha da 7 in 1990 in Brasília, the capital city of Brazil, the group is renowned for its unorthodox approach to Brazilian rhythms and its irreverent take on musical purity. Despite the name, the ensemble is not a trio, and the number of musicians involved in their performances can vary. The band's aim to deconstruct and satirize traditional Brazilian music genres, including samba, has garnered them a cult following.
The titles of Satanique Samba Trio’s recent releases, such as "Só Bad," "Cursed Brazilian Beats, Vol. 2," and "Bad Trip Simulator #3," hint at their playfully dark and twisted take on music, often exploring the inherent chaos and complexity in sound. Their discography is filled with albums that dive into subversive sonic territories, combining elements of punk rock ethos with the intricate rhythms and melodies native to Brazilian music. Satanique Samba Trio holds a unique spot in the world music scene, as they continue to push the boundaries of genre and convention, securing their place as provocative outliers within both Brazilian culture and the wider music community.
