Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Coro dos Compositores da Portela formed in 1935 within the Portela samba school, originally led by composer Paulo da Portela. They've served as a workshop for new samba compositions, with many members going on to become respected composers themselves.
Their song 'Amor Sem Raiz,' written by André Filho in 1947, became one of their most enduring pieces. Other songs like 'Ilu Ayê' and 'Não Pode Ser Verdade' show the range of their repertoire, which spans traditional batuque to more contemporary samba styles.
During Brazil's military regime, the group faced censorship for politically charged lyrics in their music. They released albums including 'Canta Brasil' in 1964, 'Samba É a Voz do Povo' in 1972, and 'A Voz da Portela' in 1978.
