Background notes
Archive material and source history
Capoeira Song came together in Salvador, Bahia during the 1990s, mixing the percussive rhythms of capoeira with samba melodies. Their self-titled 1998 album and earlier records like 'Folia' and 'Nação do Samba' featured songs such as 'Foi No Clarão da Lua' and 'O Sim, Sim, Sim,' which carried the energy of their local traditions.
Carlinhos Brown handled lead vocals and percussion, with Margareth Menezes on backing vocals. The band's lineup included Vítor Alcântara on bass, Magno Santana on drums, and Babá Ogan on percussion. Their music often addressed social themes, which sometimes sparked debate alongside its popularity.
They kept recording into the 2000s with albums like 'Raça Brasileira,' and tracks like 'É Quando Gunga Me Chama' and 'A Bananeira Caiu' continued to draw from Afro-Brazilian spiritual and cultural elements. The group's work remained rooted in the sounds of Bahia without smoothing over its more pointed edges.
