Editor's note

Banda do Mar's Brazilian rhythms and ethereal vocals

A Rio de Janeiro trio mixing Brazilian rhythms with experimental soundscapes since 2014.

If you're new to them, 'Seja Como For' and 'Pode Ser' give you the basic shape of what they do. Both have that mix of rhythm and atmosphere they're known for.

They've carved out a space where Brazilian rhythms meet what their own history calls 'ethereal vocals and experimental soundscapes.' Songs like 'Seja Como For' and 'Pode Ser' show how they blend those elements without losing a sense of melody. Their 2018 discussion about cultural appropriation and indigenous elements added a layer to how they approach those sounds.

They formed in Rio in 2014 with Fred Valle, Thiago Queiroz, and Henrique Pimentel. Their first album 'Maré' came out in 2017, followed by 'Axé' in 2019 and 'O Tempo' in 2022. They've kept playing through those releases and the conversations around their work.

Archive material and source history

Banda do Mar formed in Rio de Janeiro in 2014 with Fred Valle on vocals and bass, Thiago Queiroz on guitar and vocals, and Henrique Pimentel on drums and vocals. They put out their first album 'Maré' in 2017, which included the song 'Mais Ninguém' that got some attention.

Their sound has some Brazilian rhythms mixed with what the existing history calls 'ethereal vocals and experimental soundscapes.' They've released two more albums since then: 'Axé' in 2019 and 'O Tempo' in 2022. Other songs people know include 'Pode Ser,' 'Cidade Nova,' 'Faz Tempo,' and 'Solar.'

In 2018 there was some discussion about cultural appropriation when they used indigenous Brazilian elements in their music. They said they'd work with indigenous artists going forward. The band has kept playing since then.
