Editor's note

Moraes Moreira, the Bahian sound of axé and samba.

A founder of Novos Baianos who later shaped axé music with songs like "Sintonia".

For a quick sense of his range, try "Alto Falante" for that axé pop energy, or "Samba da Bahia de Todos Os Santos" for the rootsier side.

He helped define a whole era of Brazilian music, first with Novos Baianos hits like "Preta Pretinha" in the psychedelic late '60s, then by blending Afro-Brazilian rhythms into pop as a solo artist. Songs like "Alto Falante" and "Sintonia" became axé staples, and his sound drew directly from the samba and candomblé of Bahia street festivals.

He started in Novos Baianos, mixing rock and samba on records until 1975. After going solo, he released over 30 albums, including "Moraes Moreira" in 1975 and "Lá Vem o Brasil Descendo a Ladeira" in 1982, helping shape axé music.

Archive material and source history

Moraes Moreira was born in Ituaçu, Bahia, Brazil, in 1947. He came up through the Afro-Brazilian sounds of his hometown, absorbing samba and candomblé rhythms from local festivals and street music.

In the late 1960s, he joined with Baby do Brasil, Pepeu Gomes, and Luiz Galvão to form Novos Baianos. The band mixed rock, samba, and Brazilian folk, and had hits like "Preta Pretinha" and "Tinindo Trincando" during Brazil's psychedelic era.

After leaving the band in 1975, Moreira went solo and helped shape what became known as axé music, blending Afro-Brazilian rhythms with pop. Songs like "Sintonia" and "Chame Gente" became staples of the genre. He released over 30 studio albums, including "Moraes Moreira" in 1975 and "Lá Vem o Brasil Descendo a Ladeira" in 1982.
