Background notes
Archive material and source history
KalangoDuo formed in 2009 when Rafael Barreto and Jairo Pereira started playing together in Salvador, Bahia. They named themselves after the small, lively lizard native to their region. Their early work drew from traditional Brazilian styles like samba, bossa nova, and forro.
Their 2010 self-titled debut album established their sound, followed by records like 'Ritmos do Brasil' in 2012 and 'Além Do Mar' in 2015. Songs like 'Kalango' and 'Por Que Eu?' showcase their rhythmic approach. In 2014, their track 'Hei, Você' drew criticism for its portrayal of relationships, which the duo defended as artistic expression.
They've worked with artists including Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Daniela Mercury. Their 2018 album 'Nosso Samba' continued their exploration of Brazilian rhythms.
