Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zandaroots formed in Salvador, Brazil in 1999, led by singer and songwriter Zeca de Castro. They built a following playing local festivals and bars, and their 2004 debut album 'Aonde está?' brought them wider attention. That title track, along with songs like 'Cantareira Roots' and 'Deixa Marley Cantar,' helped define their sound.
Their music draws from Afro-Brazilian rhythms, though some critics have questioned how they blend traditional and contemporary elements. The band has released several albums since, including 'Samba Pra Burro' in 2007 and 'Raiz' in 2010. They've performed at international festivals and collaborated with other artists.
Beyond Zeca de Castro, the group includes percussionist Davi Moraes, drummer Rodrigo Barata, bassist Marcos Nonato, and keyboardist Daniel Duque. Their later albums like 'Quarto Vazio' and 'Todos os Santos' continued exploring Brazilian musical traditions through their own lens.
