Background notes
Archive material and source history
Olodé formed in Salvador, Bahia in 1993, with singer Ian Mardelle, percussionist Mestre Jackson, and guitarist Luciano Calazans among the founders. They drew from Afro-Brazilian traditions, reggae, and rock, creating a sound that reflected their city's mix of influences.
Their 1996 album 'Ciranda do Mar' gave them their breakthrough, with the title track becoming a summer staple. Other songs like 'Eterno Retornar' and 'Filho de Caçador' show their range within that rhythmic blend.
Their lyrics sometimes addressed social issues, which led to occasional friction. In 2004, 'Rap do Mercado' drew criticism from conservative groups for its take on police treatment of street vendors. They kept releasing albums into the 2010s, including 'Sambadelic' in 2014 and 'Axé Capoeira' in 2018.
