Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zé Gomes e Zabumbada da Bahia came together in Salvador in the early 2000s, with Gomes as the vocalist. Their sound pulls from Afro-Brazilian rhythms, and they found a wider audience with their 2009 debut album. That record included the song 'Cara de Pau,' which became a local hit in Salvador with its danceable beat and clever lyrics.
They've put out several albums since, including 'Raiz Forte' in 2012 and 'África Bahia' in 2015. Other songs in their catalog include 'Do Jeito Que Você Me Faz.' and 'Nosso Encontro.' The group has worked with artists like Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso.
In 2017, Gomes faced criticism over lyrics some interpreted as homophobic, which he denied, saying his intent was to promote tolerance. The band includes percussionists Jone Silva, Lucas dos Santos, and Vinícius Calazans, with Fábio Xavier on backing vocals and bass.
