Background notes
Archive material and source history
Edson Barbosa, known as Ed Bar, was born in 1953 in Salvador, Brazil. He started as a street performer in the early 1980s before forming Os Batuqueiros, a collective of musicians drawn to Afro-diasporic rhythms. Their music pulls from candomblé, samba, reggae, and funk.
Their song 'Festa Para Um Rei Negro' came out in 1986 and became something of an anthem. The band's lyrics often touch on black culture and social justice, which sometimes drew criticism from conservative quarters. They kept recording through the 1990s and early 2000s with albums like 'A Festa Continua' and 'O Batuque da Vitória'.
