Background notes
Archive material and source history
Young Clak formed in Salvador, Bahia in the early 1980s around vocalist Pedro Arrais. Their song 'Liberdade' came out in 1983 and caught on with listeners who responded to its straightforward call for emancipation. The track's lyrics about oppression and the human spirit connected during a period when Brazil was still under military rule.
Arrais wrote 'Liberdade' and the band faced some resistance from conservative quarters who found their music subversive. They managed to perform at various venues and shared bills with artists like Gilberto Gil. The original lineup included Nilton Monteiro on guitar, Júnior Alcantara on bass, and Dedé Sacramento on drums, with Arrais remaining the constant presence through subsequent changes.
They released albums including 'Liberdade' in 1983, 'Vozes da Liberdade' in 1985, and 'Caminhos da Liberdade' in 2005. The music drew from reggae and Brazilian styles with a social consciousness that resonated beyond its initial moment.
