Background notes
Archive material and source history
Selma do Cóco is a Brazilian band fronted by singer-songwriter Selma Alves, working in the traditional Coco genre rooted in the African diaspora. The group formed in the northeastern region of Brazil, drawing from the rhythms Selma Alves heard growing up in Salvador, Bahia.
One of their best-known songs is 'A Rolinha' (The Mourning Dove), which has a haunting melody and introspective lyrics. Other tracks like 'Areia' and 'Ô Moreninha do Dente de Ouro' show their connection to the Coco tradition.
Their debut album was called 'Febre de Coco,' followed by releases like 'O Canto das Sereias' and 'Brasil C.' The band's music stays close to the Coco style while incorporating Selma Alves's own storytelling approach.
