Background notes
Archive material and source history
Capoeira Nagô formed in 1992 around Carlinhos Brown, a percussionist and singer from Salvador, Brazil. The band's name nods to the Yoruba people of West Africa, whose culture runs deep in Brazilian music. They mixed traditional instruments like the berimbau and atabaque with modern drums and bass, creating a sound that felt both rooted and current.
Their debut album came out in 1996, and tracks like 'Incendeia' and 'Amor, É Meu Amor' caught on with their rhythmic drive. The music carried a social awareness without losing its danceable edge. They kept recording into the 2000s, putting out albums like 'No Mundo dos Espíritos' and 'Nação Nagô'.
Brown led the group with vocals and percussion, joined by other musicians including Cidinho on vocals and Tonho Matéria on bass. The lineup shifted at times, with Marcelo D2 appearing on vocals in some recordings.
