Background notes
Archive material and source history
Banda da Hora came together in Salvador, Bahia, where the mix of African and Brazilian traditions in the streets shaped their approach. They worked with sounds from samba, axé, and forró, but didn't settle into just one style. Their 1995 debut album included "Morena da Calçada," which became something of an anthem for listeners there.
Edson Cardoso sang lead with a soulful voice, while Marcos Pitombo handled guitar, Romualdo played bass, and Luizinho was on drums. They recorded a live album in 1996 and put out "Samba e Amor" in 1998. Over time, they collaborated with artists like Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and Carlinhos Brown. Other songs in their catalog include "Abelhinha," "Cores," "Depois da Tempestade," and "E Se."
