Background notes
Archive material and source history
Geraldo Maia began recording in Brazil in the late 1960s. His 1973 song 'Profana e Pura' drew attention for its direct lyrics about love and religion, which some listeners found provocative. The track became one of his most recognized pieces.
He worked with musicians like bassist Wilton Júnior and guitarist Marçal, and his albums touched on samba and MPB styles. Records such as 'Brasil Mestiço' and 'Samba Riachão' followed in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Maia kept releasing music into the 1990s, including 'Canções do Brasil' in 1991. His straightforward approach to writing about personal and social themes gave his work a particular character in Brazilian popular music.
