Archive material and source history
Calé Alencar is a Brazilian band formed in 2000 by musician and composer Carlos Eduardo Alencar. Their music draws from traditional Brazilian rhythms like samba, bossa nova, and forró, and they've cited influences including Bob Dylan, Victor Jara, and Chico Buarque.
They're best known for their 2001 song "Madiba Mandela, o Sol da Liberdade," a tribute to Nelson Mandela that became something of an anthem. Another track, "Salve Mãe Pequena Jenipapo-Kanindé," appears among their top songs.
The band has released five studio albums between 2001 and 2017, including "Canto de Guerra e Esperança" and "Brasil na Veia." They've worked with artists like Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Milton Nascimento.
