Graveola’s Camaleão Borboleta captures the Belo Horizonte collective’s adventurous spirit, fusing tropicália, samba, Brazilian folk, and alt-pop into a bright, politically aware song cycle. Issued by UK imprint Mais Um Discos, the album channels the band’s playful yet incisive “carnival cannibalism” approach—absorbing international styles into kaleidoscopic hybrids they dub “psychedelic maracatu,” “shamanic funaná,” “weird salsa,” and “schizo-rock-fake-reggae.” Lyrically, it champions personal transformation, grassroots movements, and digital-era empowerment, addressing indigenous struggles and debates around marijuana legalization. Vibrant, hook-filled, and rhythmically rich, Camaleão Borboleta is a standout entry in contemporary Brazilian alt-pop for listeners seeking inventive grooves and socially conscious songwriting.
