Background notes
Archive material and source history
João da Praia formed in the late 1960s in Rio de Janeiro, led by vocalist Jorge Aragão. Their debut album came out in 1970, and they became known for a sound that mixed samba with other styles. Their song "O Boi Vai Atrás" became particularly well-known.
The band kept working while he was detained, with Aragão writing lyrics from prison. They released albums like "Casa de Samba" in 1975 and another called "O Boi Vai Atrás" in 1993.
Their approach to samba sometimes drew criticism from traditionalists, but they maintained their direction. The group's lineup stayed fairly consistent over time, with Aragão remaining the central figure.
