Maneva is a Brazilian reggae band from São Paulo.

History[edit]

The band was formed in 2005 by friends Tales de Polli (vocals), Felipe Sousa (guitar), Fernando Gato (bass), Fabinho Araújo (drum kit) and Diego Andrade (percussion).[1] They claim their name comes from an African word meaning "pleasure".[2] Their first self-titled studio album was self-released in 2006.

Their first DVD, recorded at a performance celebrating their 8th anniversary, came out in 2013. Since then two other were released in 2017 and 2018, recorded at São Paulo and São Bernardo do Campo respectively.[3][4]

In 2018 the music video for their song "Pisando Descalço" reached over a million views on YouTube in less than a week.[5]

In 2019 they collaborated with Nação Zumbi, Hungria Hip Hop and Marcelo D2 to record a commemorative cover of Charlie Brown Jr.'s song "Zóio de Lula".[6][7][8]

Celebrating their 15th anniversary in 2020, they released the six-track conceptual EP O Cabeça de Folha, which counted with a guest appearance by singer Vitor Kley. An animated series inspired by each song was also made.[9][10] Later that year they released the live/cover album Tudo Vira Reggae.[11]

Their fifth studio album, Caleidoscópico, came out on April 30, 2021.[12]

In 2021, their song "Lágrimas de Alegria" (with Natiruts) was nominated for the Latin Grammy Award for Best Portuguese Language Song.[13]
