Background notes
Archive material and source history
Banda À-cordas formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. They were a Brazilian music collective that worked with samba, bossa nova, and rock. Their 1983 album 'Faixa 3' gave them a breakthrough, with the title track becoming a notable song. Another track people remember is 'Nunca Pare de Lutar'.
Their lyrics and stage presence sometimes drew criticism from conservative quarters. Lead singer Marcos Nascimento made a statement about censorship during a television performance that caused some backlash. The band had a revolving lineup that included musicians like João Barone on drums, Chico Buarque on bass, Paulo Moura on saxophone, and Hamilton de Holanda on mandolin.
They released several albums including 'Samba do Morro' in 1985, 'Brasil de Fato' in 1987, 'O Último Tango em Paris' in 1990, and 'Grito de Liberdade' in 1995. Their music addressed social and political themes while blending those Brazilian styles with rock elements.
