Background notes
Archive material and source history
Bal Raiz formed in 1996 with musicians from Lisbon. Their sound mixed Portuguese folk with Afro-Brazilian rhythms and pop, and they sometimes worked in rock or jazz elements. The song 'Ao Ouvir' came out as a single in 2001 and became widely known in Portugal.
Internal tensions led to some members leaving in the mid-2000s, but the band kept recording. They put out albums like 'Acústico no Coliseu' in 2004 and 'Sinos de Lisboa' in 2007. Their lineup included musicians like Luís Cunha, Sérgio Nascimento, and António Zambujo at different times.
They released another album called 'Raízes' in 2011. Their music drew from Portuguese traditions without staying strictly within them, and 'Ao Ouvir' remained a recognizable piece in their catalog.
