Background notes
Archive material and source history
Os 3 do Brasil were a São Paulo trio who mixed samba with American rhythm and blues in the 1960s. Their lineup included Tião Neto on guitar and lead vocals, Pernambuco on bass, and Rubão on drums. They released several singles during those years, including 'Macaco Me Lamba' in 1963 and 'O Zé Falou'.
The title translates to 'Monkey Licks Me,' and its lyrics were seen by some as carrying racial stereotypes. Brazilian authorities considered their music provocative, which led to radio bans and censorship during their peak.
They kept recording through the mid-1960s with songs like 'O Meu Sangue Ferve' and 'Chega de Saudade.' Their blend of samba and R&B found an audience despite the official pushback, and their work has been covered by other artists since.
