Background notes
Archive material and source history
Leandro Galvão, often called Mestre Iori, is a Brazilian musician and capoeira master from Salvador, Bahia. He started training in capoeira early and became a mestre at 22. His music draws directly from the rhythms and traditions of this Afro-Brazilian martial art and dance. Songs like 'Pai Nosso do Capoeira' and 'Deixa Eu Ir Pra Capoeira' reflect that deep connection, with 'Pai Nosso do Capoeira' becoming something of an anthem in capoeira circles.
He put out albums such as 'Capoeira de Angola: Toques e Cantigas' in 1997 and 'Pai Nosso do Capoeira' in 2012. His writing tends to focus on capoeira itself, along with broader themes from Afro-Brazilian culture. The track 'Cuidado Pra Não Machucar' shows his way with a lyric, grounded in the practice and spirit of the art.
Galvão works with a band, Grupo Leandro Galvão, though the lineup has changed over time. The music stays close to the source, avoiding much flash or fusion. It's capoeira music, played for capoeira.
