A Salvador band blending Afrobeat with Brazilian sounds since the late 1990s.
For their upbeat message about friendship, 'Amizade Prevalece' catches on. 'Como Tá Kalunga?' frames their blend well.
They started with a mix of traditional Afro-Brazilian rhythms and funk grooves in Salvador, Bahia, and songs like 'Inna RC' became staples. Their lyrics sometimes touch on social issues, which has drawn both support and criticism, but they've kept making music that blends Afrobeat with Brazilian sounds without much fuss about it.
Ba-Boom formed in Salvador, Bahia in the late 1990s with founding members Danniel Vieira on vocals, Diogo Medrado on bass, and Bruno Copque on drums. Their debut album 'Fruto do Tempo' came out in 2006 and found an audience, followed by albums like 'Periferia' in 2008 and 'Abadá' in 2012.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
