Archive material and source history
João Caveira was a Brazilian band formed by three musicians: André X, Danillo Caymmi, and Rodrigo Campos. Their name translates to "John Skull," nodding to their interest in supernatural themes and the mythical Calunga realm of spirits. They later added Rogério Samora on keyboards.
Their music mixed traditional Brazilian rhythms like samba and candomblé with rock, electronic, and ambient elements. André X often wrote lyrics exploring spirituality, the occult, and hidden consciousness. Their song "Deu Meia Noite Na Calunga" became particularly known for its eerie, atmospheric quality.
They released albums including "O Livro dos Mortos" in 2003, "Cangaço" in 2005, "Esp Spirits" in 2008, and "Tumba" in 2013.
