Background notes
Archive material and source history
Mestre Mão Branca formed in Salvador, Bahia in the late 1970s. The band's music draws from Afro-Brazilian traditions like candomblé, capoeira, and samba, creating a sound that feels both rooted and immediate. Their 1998 track 'Besouro Preto' is one of their better-known songs.
Over time, the group's lineup has shifted, but it has typically included Mestre Mão Branca on percussion and vocals, Jorjão on vocals and guitar, and Jonga Cunha on bass. Their lyrics often touch on social realities, which has sometimes drawn criticism, though their supporters see it as a reflection of lived experience.
They've released several albums, including 'Candomblé Elétrico' in 2003 and 'O Samba do Mestre' in 2012. Other songs like 'Capoeira Não É Ninja' and 'Morte e Falsidade' show the range of their work within these traditions.
