Background notes
Archive material and source history
Dema 7 Cordas e Seu Conjunto was a Brazilian band formed by brothers Dema and Dito in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1960s. They started with street performances and developed a sound that mixed Afro-Brazilian rhythms with funk elements, which stood out from the more traditional samba and bossa nova popular at the time.
Their song "Foi a Noite" became particularly well-known. They released albums like "Dema 7 Cordas e Seu Conjunto" in 1972 and "Nosso Samba" in 1974. The band's lyrics sometimes addressed political themes, and they faced censorship during Brazil's military regime.
The group included members like Paulinho da Viola on guitar and Jorge Aragão on cavaquinho. They worked with other Brazilian musicians including Chico Buarque and Caetano Veloso. Another of their songs, "Valeu," appears among their recorded work.
