Archive material and source history
Gilson Babilônia is a musical collective from Recife, Brazil, led by percussionist Gilson Marroquim. Their sound draws from maracatu, a traditional Afro-Brazilian rhythm from Northeast Brazil, mixed with contemporary elements. The group includes musicians like Helder Vasconcelos on saxophone, Felipe Musalem on trumpet, and others on trombone, bass, keyboards, and drums.
Their track "Bate Couro" came out in 2016 and became notable for its rhythm and socially conscious lyrics. It's one of their top songs along with "Rede" and "Terra Festeira." They've worked with artists such as Chico César and Céu.
They've released albums including their self-titled debut in 2016, followed by "Em Busca da Verdade" in 2018, "Revolução" in 2020, and "Diluvio" in 2022. Their music often addresses social and political themes, which has sparked some discussion.
