A Salvador musician whose samba and forró carry messages about inequality and faith.
For a quick sense of his sound and substance, 'Carpinteiro Pregador' and 'Livro Selado' do the job. They're straight-up Bahian rhythm with something to say.
Morais makes music that actually talks about something. 'Carpinteiro Pregador' and other songs tackle poverty and social themes head-on, using the familiar rhythms of Bahia as his vehicle. He's not just making party music, he's using axé and forró to say things that have sparked real debates about expression.
He came up in Salvador, absorbing the local samba and forró scene. Over time, he built a band and started putting out albums like 'A Voz do Povo' and 'Brasil, Meu Amor,' while sharing stages with giants like Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso.
