Lagum
Bright, breezy Brazilian pop that feels like a permanent summer afternoon. Melodic guitar lines and relaxed grooves for road trips and coastal escapes.

Lagum is a pivotal figure in the 2010s resurgence of Brazilian 'Pop-Leve' (Light Pop), emerging from Belo Horizonte to redefine the sound of the country's youth. Formed in 2014, the band successfully bridged the gap between the regional 'Clube da Esquina' legacy of Minas Gerais and contemporary global indie-pop trends.
Their sound identity is characterized by rhythmic versatility, frequently oscillating between reggae-inflected upstrokes and surf-rock guitar textures. The band's career arc was marked by the viral success of the acoustic version of 'Deixa', which transitioned them from local favorites to Sony-signed national icons. Despite the tragic loss of drummer Tio Wilson in 2020, the group has maintained a prolific output, evolving their sound to include more sophisticated arrangements and introspective themes in albums like 'Depois do Fim'. Critically, they are lauded for their 'honest' pop - music that feels unpretentious and deeply rooted in the lived experiences of Brazilian millennials and Gen Z, securing their position as a festival mainstay and a bridge between mainstream pop and alternative rock scenes.
