Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zé Mauricio Machline is a Brazilian musician from Salvador, Bahia, whose work draws from Afro-Brazilian spiritual traditions like Candomblé and Umbanda. He formed his band in 1986, and his 1989 song 'Pontos de Pretos Velhos' became widely known as an invocation of ancestral spirits.
His music has faced criticism from some who see it as commercializing spiritual practices, though Machline has spoken about his respect for these traditions. Other songs like 'Pontos de Iansã' continue this focus on spiritual themes.
Machline has released albums including 'Axé, Oxóssi' in 1992 and 'Cantos de Umbanda' in 2012. His band has included musicians like percussionist Carlinhos Brown and guitarist Cássio Murilo.
