Archive material and source history

Tiganá Santana formed in Salvador, Bahia in 1991, led by vocalist Margareth Menezes and percussionist Letieres Leite. Their debut album 'Axé Music' came out in 1993, drawing from Afro-Brazilian traditions like Candomblé rhythms and samba. The band's name references the Afro-Brazilian deity Oxalá.

Their songs often explore African spirituality and social themes. Tracks like 'Reverência,' 'Dembwa (10 de Agosto),' and 'Antídoto' show their musical approach, while 'Bloco Novo' features backing vocalist Fabiana Cozza. Other recordings include 'A Luz do Oculto e o Sol do Sentimento' and 'Canto Para Atabaque.'

They released several albums including 'Quintessência' in 1996, 'Umbanda' in 2000, 'African Diaspora' in 2003, and 'Negra Melodia' in 2006. The group maintained a consistent lineup with Menezes on vocals, Leite on percussion, Beto Jamaica on guitar, Bruno Migotto on bass, and Cozza on backing vocals.
