Background notes
Archive material and source history
João Tavares e Grupo Tapejaras came from Brazil's backlands, with João Tavares writing songs inspired by the women in his community. Their 1998 album 'Marias Rurais' gave the group its breakthrough, with the title track becoming particularly well-known.
The band's lineup included João Tavares on vocals along with Zé Luiz on accordion, Jairo on bass, Neto on drums, and Joãozinho on electric guitar. They released several albums after their initial success, including 'Amor de Vaqueiro' in 2001 and 'Romance Sertanejo' in 2004.
