Banda Aurora formed in São Carlos, Brazil in 1965 with Ayrton Baia on accordion, José Carlos Muniz on bass, Ely Guimarães on drums, and Jair Gonçalves handling vocals. They played sacred music, with songs like "Mãe do Meu Senhor" becoming central to their repertoire.
Their 1968 recording of "Mãe do Meu Senhor" became particularly well-known, and they followed it with albums like "Chorando de Saudade" in 1970 and "Jesus, o Rei dos Reis" in 1972. Other songs in their catalog include "Sonhar Teus Sonhos," "Despertar," and "Tuas Chagas."
Their music has been used in churches and religious gatherings in Brazil.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
