Background notes
Archive material and source history
Capoeira Alvorada formed in Salvador, Bahia in 1984, started by Mestre Moraes and Mestre Cobra Mansa. They came together around capoeira, the Afro-Brazilian martial art that mixes movement with music and chanting. Their idea was to take that tradition and present it as a band.
Their first album came out in 1988, also called 'Capoeira Alvorada.' Their sound pulls from the rhythms of capoeira itself, but you can also hear samba and reggae in there. Songs like 'Da Nossa Cor' and 'Saldade' are part of their catalog.
Over time, the group included other musicians like Mestre Zulu on atabaque and Mestre Paulão on pandeiro. They've worked with artists outside their immediate circle, including Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso.
Their music often deals with cultural identity and social themes. 'Da Nossa Cor,' for instance, addresses race and discrimination, which sparked some debate. They've generally used their platform to talk about these kinds of issues.
