Afrobombas formed in Salvador, Bahia in 2006, with Mateus Aleluia on vocals and percussion, Fábio Passos on guitar, Téo Ruiz on bass, and André Sampaio on drums. Their music draws from Afro-Brazilian rhythms while addressing social issues in their lyrics.
Their 2010 album 'De Sal e Sol Eu Sou' shares its name with one of their songs, and they've released other albums like 'Giranda Mundana' in 2013 and 'Pássaro Livre' in 2018. Their performances have reached international festivals.
Some of their work has faced criticism for its direct approach to topics like racial discrimination and inequality. They've maintained a focus on these themes throughout their recordings.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
