Background notes
Archive material and source history
Paixão Cortes e Barbosa Lessa formed in the late 1970s in Laguna, Santa Catarina, where Jair Paixão Cortes played guitar and sang alongside Barbosa Lessa on accordion and Lourival de Oliveira on percussion. They focused on Chimarrita, a traditional dance music from southern Brazil, with songs like 'Chimarrita' and 'Gaúcho Velho' in their repertoire.
Their music combined accordion melodies with guitar and percussion, working within the Chimarrita tradition rather than breaking from it. They performed this regional style for audiences in Brazil, bringing attention to a form that wasn't widely known outside its home area.
Some of their lyrics addressed social issues, which drew mixed reactions at times. They kept recording and playing, with tracks like 'Balaio' and 'Cana Verde' representing their approach to the genre.
