The band is known for their hit song Tropa de Elite, which made an appearance in the film, Tropa de Elite. The song included on the soundtrack was written and produced by Tihuana years before the development of the film of the same name.[2] In 2022, the band's song "Tropa de Elite " was used in videos supporting Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. Tihuana's lead singer Egypcio condemned the use of the band's song in the political videos, saying the use of their music was unauthorized.[3]
