Background notes
Archive material and source history
Os Caibatés formed in the late 1960s in Caruaru, Pernambuco, with brothers Zé Ramalho and Edu Lobo at the core. Their music drew from the sertão, Brazil's vast hinterlands, and they worked with traditional rhythms like baião and forró. Their song 'Ramada Infinita' became particularly well-known, speaking to the experiences of people in that region.
They released their debut album in 1971, which included 'Ramada Infinita.' The track's lyrics about sertão life were seen by some as having political weight. Over time, the band's lineup shifted, with members like percussionist Mestre Bimba joining. Another song, 'Parei, Provei, Gostei,' featured a collaboration with Gaúcho da Fronteira.
