Background notes
Archive material and source history
Bafo da Onça formed in São Paulo in the late 1970s with Luiz Américo on vocals, Tavinho Paes on guitar, Luiz Gaúcho on drums, and Fernando Gama on bass. Their sound mixed samba, rock, and Brazilian folk elements in a way that didn't fit neatly into existing categories.
Their 1981 album "Amor... Amor... Amor..." gave them their most recognizable song, which also got them into trouble with censors.
They released several albums in the early 1980s including "Não Há Problema" in 1980, "Vai Ser Legal" in 1982, and a live recording from Rio's Circo Voador in 1983. The band dealt with lineup changes and financial difficulties while maintaining their particular musical approach.
