Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Playboys formed in Rio de Janeiro during the 1960s with Jurandir da Silva, Mozart Melo, and José Nunes. They put out their debut album 'Alma Brasileira' in 1967, and the title track became their most recognizable song.
Their music pulled from Brazilian rhythms like bossa nova and samba, but they also worked funk and soul into later records. Songs like 'Bananal' and 'Brincando de Punk' show that range.
They recorded steadily for years, with albums like 'Swing Real' and 'Festa na Paulista' appearing in their catalog. Their stage shows and lyrics sometimes drew criticism, but they kept a following in Brazil.
