Background notes
Archive material and source history
Velho Leão formed in Salvador, Bahia in 1998, with Beto on vocals and composition, Carlinhos on guitar, Ademir on bass, and Digão on drums. Their music drew from traditional Brazilian rhythms and samba poetics. In 2002, their debut album gave them the song 'Canção, Versos e Melodia,' a ballad about music's power that became an instant classic.
In 2005, Beto was arrested on drug possession charges, which affected the band's reputation. They continued releasing albums like 'Raízes do Nordeste' in 2007, 'Brasil das Gerais' in 2011, and 'Único' in 2015.
