Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zé João (born José João da Silva) and Daniel (born Daniel Marques) started playing together in 1974. Their song 'Vióla no Vale' became known for its focus on rural life, built around the viola, a traditional Brazilian stringed instrument.
Their music often dealt with themes of poverty and social injustice, which drew attention from the government during Brazil's political climate at the time. They released albums like 'Zé João e Daniel' in 1975, 'Canto do Povo' in 1976, and 'Viola Encantada' in 1978.
They worked with other Brazilian musicians including Chico Buarque and Milton Nascimento. The duo performed with Zé João on lead vocals and viola, Daniel on harmony vocals, viola and guitar, and were sometimes joined by musicians like Marcio Manga on bass, Marcos Suzano on drums, and Roberto Costa on keyboards.
