Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zé Mário and Oldemar Magalhães formed their musical partnership in the early 1960s in São Paulo. They found their biggest success in 1976 with the song 'Sassaricando,' which became the theme for a popular TV soap opera and turned into something of a Brazilian standard.
José Maria dos Santos, known as Zé Mário, handled most of the songwriting and lead vocals. Oldemar Magalhães played guitar and arranged the music. Their work together spanned several decades, resulting in albums like their self-titled 1968 debut and later releases such as 'Naquela Noite' in 1982.
Their lyrics sometimes touched on social and political themes, which drew some criticism at the time. But it was the straightforward appeal of songs like 'Sassaricando', with its samba rhythm and catchy melody, that connected with listeners and kept their music in circulation.
