A Brazilian group from Bahia that blended samba, axé, and heavy percussion into their sound.
For a good place to start, try 'Regina Celi e Salgueiro - Uma História de Amor Sem Ponto Final' or 'É Brinquedo, É Brincadeira, a Ilha Vai Levantar Poeira'. They both have that percussive drive the group was known for.
They came out of Bahia with Wanderlei Cardoso da Silva leading the way, and their track 'Regina Celi e Salgueiro - Uma História de Amor Sem Ponto Final' gives you a sense of what they were about. The percussion work from Carlinhos Brown and Beto Jamaica's guitar gave their music a particular texture. Songs like 'É Brinquedo, É Brincadeira, a Ilha Vai Levantar Poeira' show that mix of rhythm and melody they kept returning to.
They formed in Bahia and released albums like 'Timbalada' in 1997 and 'Cadê Você, Meu Amor?' in 2000. The band kept playing through the early 2000s with records like 'Alegria do Povo' and 'Pra Balançar'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
