This music is inspired by African, African-Brasilian and African-Cuban music and dance traditions. This album is produced in solidarity with Black Lives, with respect and admiration for black music.
We are in deep gratitude to all the Mães, Pais, Mestres, Alabês, Ogans, Bambas, and brave warriors who keep the samba spirit alive amidst continued oppression and marginalization of black communities and black art forms in Brazil.
Covid-19 opened up a door for us… the cancelling of every performance opportunity in 2020 made space for us to create our first full-length, professionally mixed and mastered album!
Recorded in 65 days at Boho Digitalia Studios in Salt Lake City, Utah, “O Fogo Brilha” (“The Fire Shines”) is Samba Fogo’s socially distanced response to the challenge of art-making during a global pandemic.
We cannot play music together right now, but we can enjoy this album together, as we all
stay home and stay safe this Winter.
