Editor's note

Fundo de Quintal, samba from Rio's backyards

A group that shaped modern samba with songs about everyday life in Rio's neighborhoods.

For a sense of their sound, start with 'Só Felicidade' or 'Doce Refúgio.' They capture that mix of celebration and quiet reflection the group does so well.

Fundo de Quintal's music, like 'Só Felicidade,' blends traditional samba rhythms with contemporary arrangements that feel rooted in Rio's favelas. Their lyrics often touch on everyday struggles and community, giving their sound a lived-in warmth. It's samba that never loses its connection to the backyard gatherings where it started.

The group formed in 1978 in the Cacique de Ramos neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. Over decades, they recorded more than thirty albums, with members like Jorge Aragão and Arlindo Cruz contributing distinct vocal and compositional styles.
