Background notes
Archive material and source history
Joba Ralacoxa started playing in Salvador, Bahia in the early 2000s. Their 2007 debut album "Canção À Cidade Mãe" gave them a national audience, with the title track becoming one of their most recognizable songs.
Their music pulls from Afro-Brazilian rhythms like samba and ijexá, but they often layer in electronic textures and jazz harmonies. Songs like "Ao Som da Concertina" and "Minha Tradição" show how they work with those traditional forms.
Joba, the frontman and main songwriter, writes lyrics that touch on social justice and city life. The band has worked with percussionist Carlinhos Brown and producer Mario Caldato Jr., and they've released albums roughly every few years, including "Eco" in 2014 and "Zona Negra" in 2020.
