Supla
High-octane Brazilian punk with a rockabilly heart and a bossa nova twist. Energetic, eccentric, and unmistakably Sao Paulo. Perfect for a wild night out.

Supla is the ultimate personification of Brazilian punk rock swagger. His music is a high-energy collision of 1977 London grit and the chaotic urban sprawl of Sao Paulo. It sounds like a leather jacket worn over a surfboard: fast, loud, and surprisingly melodic, with a vocal delivery that favors a charismatic, raspy sneer reminiscent of 80s new wave icons.
What sets him apart is his fearlessness in blending high-octane hardcore with traditional Brazilian rhythms. One moment he is leading a frantic mosh pit, and the next he is crooning a bossa nova standard with a punk's cynical edge. His lyrics often jump between Portuguese and English, reflecting a global rock identity that remains fiercely rooted in his local identity as the 'Charada Brasileiro.'
Start with 'O Charada Brasileiro' to hear him at his most iconic and commercially potent. For those who want to hear his more experimental side, 'Bossa Furiosa' offers a fascinating look at how he deconstructs Brazil's most famous musical export through a distorted lens.
Eduardo Smith de Vasconcellos Suplicy (born 2 April 1965), known as Supla, is a Brazilian musician.
