Banda Uó

Banda Uó was a Brazilian tecnobrega band composed of Davi Sabbag, Mateus Carrilho, and Candy Mel.

The funny lyrics and Sabbag's direction got the attention of DJ Diplo, who was responsible for introducing funk carioca to the world.

They received good reviews from Rolling Stone Brasil: "One of the triumphs of Banda Uó was to realize that being humorous is not necessarily related to "funny" music - and that the trio secured an audience even wider.

[7] With inspiration from DJ Cremoso, who was a precursor for mixing tecnobrega with pop music,[8] they recorded a cover version with samples of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" called "Eu Não Quero Saber."

[10] Pedro D'Eyrot and Rodrigo Gorky, both from group "Bonde do Rolê," were responsible for the production of their songs and together with Diplo, they became the band's managers.

[13] The extended play Me Emoldurei de Presente Pra Te Ter was released in July 2011 through Tropical Avalanche.

[15] According to the band, the theme addressed by the program, on Candy Mel's transsexuality, was not disclosed to them in advance, causing embarrassment to the singer.

The production eventually became "Catraca", released on March 27, 2014, featuring famous funk singer and Brazilian rapper Mr.

[21] On November 5, 2014, the band announced on social networks the release of the DVD Turnê Motel - ao Vivo no Cine Jóia.

"Faz Uó", "Cowboy", "Gringo", "I <3 Cafuçu", "Vânia" and the hit song "Shake de Amor" are on the setlist.

"[24] Matheus described that he wanted black singers with strong and perfect voices, so they called Karol Conká and Vanessa Jackson to be featured on the album.
