El Efecto is a Brazilian rock band, formed in 2002[1][2] by Tomás Rosati, Bruno Danton and Eduardo Baker.[3] All their studio works are available for free download at their official website.[4] Their lyrics often deal with political and social subjects.[1][2]
In 2013, their third album Pedras e Sonhos (Rocks and Dreams) made the group be nominated for the Brazilian Music Awards, in the category Best Pop/Rock/Reggae/Hip hop/Funk Group.[5]
In December 2014, they released their fourth album, A Cantiga É uma Arma, (Cantiga Is a Weapon) which features four acoustic re-recordings and two new songs, also acoustic.[2] That album is a studio version of a show format they decided to use to make it possible for them to perform in places with poor infrastructure for electric music.[1] Both the new songs were composed in 2013, when the band toured Portugal and Spain.[1] One of the re-recordings, "Ciranda", received a video with a guest appearance of singer Daíra Saboia.[6]
