Editor's note

Zé Paulo Sierra's samba and axé from Bahia

A Salvador-born musician whose band has included Carlinhos Brown and Margareth Menezes.

For a quick sense of his sound, try "Aparecida, a Rainha do Brasil" or the earlier "O Alabê de Jerusalém."

He wrote "O Alabê de Jerusalém" in 1973, a song that became central to his work. Tracks like "Aparecida, a Rainha do Brasil" show his blend of Brazilian styles, and his band featured notable players like Geraldo Azevedo on guitar. That mix of samba, axé, and specific collaborators gives his catalog its texture.

He formed his band in the early 1970s and released his self-titled debut in 1973. Later albums included "Eu Sou o Samba" in 1976, "Axé Bahia" in 1982, and "Capoeira de Angola" in 1997.
