Archive material and source history
Negrocan formed in Salvador, Bahia in 1998, a group of musicians drawn to traditional Bahian music and its modern possibilities. Their name combines the Portuguese 'negão' with the English 'can,' a nod to their Afro-Brazilian roots and the idea of music as a container for something potent.
Luiz Caldas handles lead vocals and songwriting, with Márcio Mello on drums and percussion, Fábio Passos on bass, and Marcos Lobão on guitar. Their sound pulls from Afro-Bahian rhythms, with Lobão's guitar adding touches of rock influence.
Their debut album 'Negrocan' arrived in 2000 and included 'Aquela Esquina,' a song that became something of an anthem for them. Another track, 'Cada Vez,' also appears among their notable work. The band has faced criticism at times for openly embracing their Black identity and addressing social themes in their music.
