Background notes
Archive material and source history
A Volante do Sargento Bezerra formed in Recife in 1958 around Antônio Bezerra, a military sergeant who went by Sargento Bezerra. His brother Calixto Bezerra was among the musicians who joined him. They played traditional Northeastern Brazilian rhythms like forró, baião, and xote, with songs that often touched on everyday life in the region.
Their most recognizable song is probably "Alpercata De Rabicho," a tune about traditional sandals that became a staple at Brazilian music festivals. Other tracks like "Da Janela Pro Terreiro" and "Fome De Vida" show their knack for melodic, grounded storytelling set to driving beats.
Sargento Bezerra was arrested and briefly imprisoned for his outspoken views. They released albums including "Merengue das Ondas" in 1960 and "O Canto do Brasil" in 1964, with a lineup that typically included zabumba, triangle, cavaquinho, and bass alongside vocals, guitar, and accordion.
