Background notes
Archive material and source history
Bando da Lua formed in Salvador, Bahia in 1979. Their music mixed samba, reggae, and funk, with lyrics that often addressed social issues. The band included Cláudio Lacerda on vocals, Fausto Nilo on bass, Murali on drums, and Alfredo Moura on guitar.
They released their first album in 1982. Two years later came 'Abandona o Preconceito,' which gave them wider recognition. The title track became something of an anthem against racism, with its straightforward message to abandon prejudice.
Other songs like 'Badaladas' and 'Maria A Boa' show their range within that Brazilian rhythmic blend. They kept recording through the late 80s and early 90s, with albums like 'Ritual' and 'Sobre a Terra' exploring different themes while staying grounded in their sound.
