Archive material and source history
Velho Buffalo Ruffus is a Brazilian music collective from Salvador that started making music in the early 2000s. Their sound pulls from rock and jazz but also folds in traditional Brazilian rhythms, which gives their work a particular texture. The group includes Rafael "Rafinha" Marques on vocals and guitar, Fernando "Ximmy" Pontes on drums and percussion, Fabio Cascadura on bass and synths, and Roberto "Bob" Aguiar on guitar.
In 2007, they released the single "Brasilerdo," which became something of a cultural touchstone in Brazil. The song is a satirical take on Brazilian identity, and its success brought the band wider attention. Other tracks like "Bravo" and "Você Não Sabe Aonde Estou" show their tendency toward unconventional structures and lyrics that don't follow straightforward patterns.
Their albums include their self-titled debut in 2005, followed by "Brasilerdo" in 2007, "Estação do Fim do Mundo" in 2009, "Ritual" in 2012, and "O Velho Buffalo Ruffus Vai ao Cinema" in 2015. The music often gets described as experimental, and it has drawn both appreciation and criticism for pushing against more traditional songwriting.
