Background notes
Archive material and source history
Marrakitá formed in Salvador, Bahia in the late 1980s as a collective of musicians. The band's name references the indigenous Maraká people of the Amazon. Their core lineup included vocalist Magary Lord, percussionist Manno Góes, bassist Ruben Almeida, and guitarist Alexandre Leão.
Their music pulls from various Brazilian traditions, mixing Afro-Brazilian rhythms, samba, and reggae with rock and funk elements. Songs like "Moema" and "Batuque Nego" show their approach to blending these styles. "Moema" became particularly well-known as a ballad about a mythical indigenous woman.
They released albums including their self-titled debut in 1989, "Nossos Corações" in 1994, and "Deixa a Terra Girar" in 2016. In 1996, they won the Prêmio da Música Brasileira award.
