Archive material and source history

Manola formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1988 around vocalist Marina de La Riva and guitarist Marco Penaforte. Their music draws from samba and bossa nova traditions, with songs like "Dias Ferreira" and "Hoje Eu Só Não Danço Pra Você" showing their feel for Brazilian rhythms and poetic lyrics.

They released several albums including "Manola" in 1992 and "Dias Ferreira" in 1995. The band's sound centers on de La Riva's voice and Penaforte's guitar work, with other musicians like bassist Pedro Sá and drummer Fábio SantAna joining at different points.

Manola's recordings include "Refúgio" and "Smells Like Butterflies," which continue their exploration of Brazilian musical forms without straying far from their core approach.
