Background notes
Archive material and source history
Afrojah formed in the early 1990s in Salvador, Brazil, specifically in the favelas. The collective started as a platform for young musicians to address experiences of poverty and racial discrimination through music. Their raw performances found an audience among marginalized communities in the area.
Their sound mixes samba, reggae, and hip hop with traditional Afro-Brazilian rhythms. The lyrics often tackle social injustice and police brutality. Their debut album, "Um Dia Vai Chegar a Hora" from 1998, includes the title track and songs like "Babylon" and "Buscando a Paz."
The core members include lead singer and songwriter Josué de Souza, known as "Pai," along with percussionist Robson Nonato, bassist André Bispo, and guitarist Fernando Moraes.
