Arandu Arakuaa – which means Saber of the Cosmos – is the first Indigenous heavy metal band to sing in the Brazilian indigenous language of the Tupi-Guarani tribe.
The quartet formed in 2008, with their signature painted bodies and the guttural sound of their lead vocalist, mix indigenous drums with guitar riffs to produce a heavy, exotic sound, whilst their mystical lyrics speak of the daily lives in indigenous villages. There are no limits to creativity when it comes to the diversity of Brazilian music.
