Background notes

Archive material and source history

Casquinha da Portela came out of Rio de Janeiro's Portela samba school in the early 1970s. The band was led by composer and vocalist Maurilio de Oliveira, and they mixed samba with funk and rock elements.

Their 1974 debut album included 'Preta Aloirada,' which became a national hit and stirred up debate. The song's lyrics about a mixed-race woman were celebrated by some and criticized by others.

They followed up with albums like 'E Vamos ao Batuque' in 1975. Other songs in their catalog include 'Herança de sambista,' 'Maria Sambamba,' and 'Corri Pra Ver.'
