Background notes
Archive material and source history
Inocentes do Samba formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1976, coming together in the Madureira neighborhood. They started as a group of musicians drawn to samba, though the early years weren't easy. They gradually built a following with live shows that mixed traditional samba with funk and gospel touches.
Their 1984 song 'A História de São Jorge - Ogum Menino' became one of their most recognized tracks. It also stirred some debate about religious themes in Brazilian culture. The band kept recording through the 80s and 90s, with albums like 'O Samba É Inocente' and 'Cidadão Samba'.
Over time, members like Maurilio de Oliveira on vocals and Carlinhos de Oliveira on guitar became central to their sound. They maintained a presence in Brazilian music into the 2000s with releases like 'Corumbá' in 2004.
