Novos Baianos F.C

Description

Formed in Bahia in the late 60s, Novos Baianos became one of the most iconic bands in Brazilian music. Blending samba, rock, choro, psychedelia, capoeira rhythms, and communal living, the band embodied a new counter-cultural movement that redefined MPB (Brazilian Popular Music). Their albums, notably Acabou Chorare and Novos Baianos F.C., are now considered pillars of modern Brazilian music, inspiring generations of artists in Brazil and worldwide. Released in 1973, Novos Baianos F.C. testifies to the band's communal lifestyle and experimental audacity. After the success of Acabou Chorare, the band enriched their music into a vibrant blend of samba, choro, folk, psychedelia, and electric soul. Thanks to the unique chemistry of Baby Consuelo, Pepeu Gomes, Moraes Moreira, Paulinho Boca de Cantor, and Dadi, the album radiates warmth and spontaneity. Recorded in the legendary Baianos house, nicknamed "football club," it offers a joyful testament to the cultural freedom of early 70s Brazil.
