As Baías

As Baías is a contemporary Brazilian music group that has captured the hearts of audiences with their unique blend of MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), pop, and other eclectic influences. Originally formed by the trio Raquel Virgínia, Assucena Assucena, and Rafael Acerbi, the band has gone through a significant transformation, both in membership and in artistic direction.

Emerging from the city of São Paulo, the group initially gained attention under the name "As Bahias e a Cozinha Mineira," a nod to the Bahian roots of the vocalists and the southeastern state of Minas Gerais, where Rafael comes from. They stood out for their ability to interweave personal narratives and social issues, particularly those affecting the LGBTQ+ community, within their lyrics and music. With the name change to "As Baías," the band signaled a broader and more inclusive embrace of their evolving sound and identity.

Their discography showcases this journey, with tracks like "Primeiro Beijo" and "Muito, Eu Te Amo" highlighting their romantic and emotive songwriting, while "Drama Latino" and "Drama Latino Dos Rádios" exemplify their flair for dramatic storytelling. Balancing between tender ballads such as "Mãe" and the spirited "Quarto Andar," As Baías have carved out a distinctive space in the Brazilian music scene. Their musical explorations have led them to create works that resonate on a deeply personal level, such as in "Você É Do Mal," while also engaging with broader social themes, as heard in "Enquanto Estamos Distantes." Their ability to traverse different genres while maintaining their unique essence is further demonstrated in tracks like "Onça / Docilmente Selvagem" and the evocatively titled "Tarântula." As Baías continue to shine with their artistic authenticity, forging connections with fans through songs like "Das Estrelas," which attest to their star-like presence in the music world.
