Background notes
Archive material and source history
Os Mulheres Negras was an all-female Brazilian group that formed in the early 1970s. They were led by singer and songwriter Elis Regina, who had already established herself as a solo artist before bringing together musicians including Maria Bethânia, Gal Costa, and Baby Consuelo. Their music blended traditional Brazilian rhythms with jazz, soul, and rock elements.
Their debut album 'Mulheres Negras' came out in 1972, followed by records like 'Meu Guri' in 1973 and 'O Que É Que a Baiana Tem?' in 1974. Songs like 'Sub' and 'Música Serve Pra Isso' reflected their approach to music that addressed social issues while celebrating Afro-Brazilian culture.
Their lyrics often dealt with racial inequality, poverty, and sexism, which drew both admiration and criticism during Brazil's politically turbulent period. The group's live album 'Os Mulheres Negras Ao Vivo' was released in 1975, capturing their evolving sound that incorporated samba, funk, and MPB influences.
