Lagum released the music video for “Oi” on June 14, 2019, the same day the band’s album Coisas da Geração arrived digitally. The song is track four on the 14-track record, and contemporaneous coverage described the clip as a light, comic take on life on the road.
“Oi” arrived with the album
POPline reported on June 14, 2019, that Lagum released the “Oi” clip to accompany the album’s arrival that Friday. Streaming listings give the album a June 14 release date and identify Sony Music Entertainment Brasil as its label. Sony Music Portugal later described the album as a June 2019 digital release and called “Oi” its presentation single.

What the reported video premise follows
In its release-day report, POPline characterized the video as light and humorous, with inspiration from the film Almost Famous. The reported premise follows a band through unusual experiences of life on the road: hotel stays, cold weather, long drives, writing songs, and staying in touch with family and loved ones. Those details describe the clip’s reported concept, rather than a first-hand account here.
