Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ytthamar Trpicália formed in 1995 around vocalist and composer Ytthamar Campos, drawing from the Afro-Brazilian traditions of Bahia. Their music pulls from rhythms like candomblé and ijexá, with the experimental spirit of tropicalia figures like Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso. The group included members like Amanda Costa on vocals, Marcus Moraes on guitar, Joca Costa on bass, and Fabrício Mota on drums.
They released albums including 'Afoxé de São Jorge' in 1999, 'Bahia Encantada' in 2001, and 'Uma História de Ifá' in 2003. That 2003 album's title track became their most recognized work, a narrative piece inspired by the Afro-Brazilian religion of Ifá that blends traditional rhythms with ethereal vocals.
In 2016, the band faced criticism for a performance at a religious festival in Bahia where they mixed sacred candomblé rhythms with secular lyrics. Their work often explores themes of Afro-Brazilian identity and social inequality.
