Background notes
Archive material and source history
Banda Babaxé formed in 1999 in Salvador, Bahia, drawing members from the Quilombo de Amaralina community. Their name references a figure from Candomblé, and they built their sound around rhythms and traditions from their African heritage.
Their song "Sainha Preta" came out in 2002 and became their most recognizable track. It's built on percussive grooves and carries themes of Black women's empowerment, which resonated widely in Brazil and beyond.
They've released albums like Babaxé (2002), O Poder do Samba (2005), A Força da Mulher (2008), and Babaxé: 15 Anos (2014). The group has faced some criticism from conservative quarters over their performances, which they've addressed directly.
