Background notes
Archive material and source history
Jota 3 started in Fortaleza in 2001, with Rafael Castro on vocals and guitar, Fabio Serra on bass, and Rafael Alcantara on drums. Their first album came out in 2003, and it included the track 'Vem Dançar Comigo,' which got some attention as a summer song. They put out a few more records over the next several years, like 'Eduardo e Mônica' in 2005 and 'Matriz' in 2011.
Their sound pulls from reggae, rock, and hip-hop, and they often write about social themes. Songs like 'Positivo e Operante' and 'Camburi Beat' have straightforward, upbeat rhythms. In 2016, they got some criticism for playing a show tied to a far-right political group, and they apologized afterward.
The lineup shifted a bit when Fabio Serra left in 2013 and Alex Meirelles came in on bass. Castro, Alcantara, and Meirelles have been the main trio since then. Other tracks in their catalog include 'Começar de Novo' and 'Raiou.'
