Background notes
Archive material and source history
Lecinho e Viola is a Brazilian samba duo from Rio de Janeiro. Lecinho (José Roberto dos Santos) and Viola (Valdeci da Silva) met at a local samba school in the early 1990s. They released their debut album 'Na Madrugada' in 1994, with the title track gaining attention for Lecinho's vocals and Viola's guitar work.
In 2005, they put out the album 'Canga,' which included the song of the same name. That track became widely known internationally. Their catalog also includes songs like 'Coió,' 'Jardim Viola,' and 'Lírios.'
Around 2010, there was some discussion about one of their compositions possibly borrowing from an African folk melody, though the details remain unclear. Their music generally works within traditional samba rhythms with some contemporary touches.
