Background notes
Archive material and source history
Itinerante formed in Salvador, Bahia in the mid-1990s with vocalist Saulo Fernandes, guitarist Fábio Carneiro, bassist Carlinhos Brown Jr., and drummer Xandão. Their debut album in 2000, also called 'Banda Essência,' featured the title track that became a hit. The song's mix of Afro-Brazilian rhythms and pop energy connected with listeners, though some critics felt the band was commercializing traditional sounds.
After Fernandes left in 2012 to go solo, the band brought in new vocalists including Léo Santana. They kept recording and touring, putting out albums like 'Do Outro Lado do Mundo' in 2002 and 'Vem Nosso Som' in 2008. They worked with artists like Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso along the way.
Itinerante's music, anchored by songs like 'Banda Essência,' became part of Brazil's popular soundtrack. The band's sound pulled from Bahian traditions while fitting into contemporary pop, a combination that drew both fans and debate about authenticity in Brazilian music.
