Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zelma formed in 2005 in São Paulo with three friends: vocalist and guitarist Fernanda Takai, bassist Guilherme Monteiro, and drummer Felipe Ribeiro. Their music pulled from Brazilian pop, folk, and bossa nova.
In 2012, their single 'Esperança' became widely known. The song's Portuguese lyrics, which translate to 'There is still hope,' connected with listeners. It appeared on their album 'O Mundo Lá Fora' that same year.
The band released several albums, including their self-titled debut in 2005, followed by 'O Livro dos Dias' in 2008, 'Tempo' in 2015, and 'Vida' in 2019. In 2015, their involvement in a political campaign drew criticism from some quarters.
