Background notes
Archive material and source history
Os Morenos came together in Salvador, Bahia in the early 1990s. Their sound mixed African rhythms with Caribbean melodies and Brazilian pop, which became known as axé music. The band included Osvaldo "Tio" Novaes on lead vocals, Charles "Cacau" Rangel on guitar and vocals, Paulo "Paulinho" José on bass and vocals, and Roberto "Beto" Jamaica on percussion and vocals.
Their 1994 single "Mina de Fé" broke through and became a hit across Brazil. That song, along with tracks like "Casal Sem Vergonha" and "Nos Braços da Paixão," helped define their sound. They released albums including "Moreno é Bom" in 1995, "Afrodisíaco" in 1997, and "Axépraia" in 2001.
Some critics took issue with what they saw as overly sexual or materialistic themes in the band's music.
