Archive material and source history
Velha Guarda Musical da Imperatriz formed in 1968 in Salvador, Brazil. Their name translates to 'Old Guard,' which nods to their connection with Bahian musical traditions. They're best known for 'O Que É Que a Bahia Tem,' a song that became something of an anthem for the state.
Their music, which often celebrated Afro-Brazilian identity, was viewed with suspicion by the regime.
They released several albums in the late 1960s and 1970s, including 'Barra 69' in 1969 and 'Bahia de Todos os Sambas' in 1974.
