Archive material and source history
Josias formed in Fortaleza, Brazil in 2006, led by vocalist and songwriter Márcio Castro. Their sound pulls from samba, rock, and folk, with Castro's voice and the band's playing building an audience. They released their debut album 'Fala' in 2011, and the title track became widely known in Brazil.
After 'Fala', they put out albums like 'Tudo Passa' in 2014, 'Nós' in 2017, and 'Fôlego' in 2020. The band includes Paulo Pires on guitar, Rodrigo Tavares on bass, and Rafael Bandeira on drums. They've worked with artists including Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Jorge Drexler.
In 2013, a video surfaced showing Castro making derogatory comments about women, which caused public backlash. The band apologized and took a break. More recently, their vocal support for Brazil's Workers' Party has drawn criticism from some fans and observers.
