Background notes
Archive material and source history
Xemá is a Brazilian ensemble from Salvador that works with Afro-Brazilian rhythms and soulful melodies. Their song 'A Paso De Tortuga' became a signature piece, a ballad about moving through life slowly. The group includes Rafa Barreto on vocals and songwriting, Gustavo Azevedo on guitar, Tiago dos Anjos on bass, and Cristiano Alves on percussion.
They released an EP in 2013 and a debut album called 'Dentro da Onda' in 2016. A later album, 'Bicho Solto,' arrived in 2020. Other songs in their catalog include 'Al borde,' 'Busco un sueño,' and 'Me faltas tú.'
In their early days, some critics were skeptical about their fusion of Brazilian and other sounds, but they kept playing live and recording. Their music tends toward introspection and emotional reflection, without much flash or hurry.
