Banda Black Rio

A brazilian group from Rio de Janeiro since 1976.

About Me

The BANDA BLACK RIO has a repertoire based on funk music mixing samba, jazz and Brazilian rhythms and has recorded four albums: "Maria Fumaca", "Gafieira Universal", "Saci Perere" and "Movimento". This last album was remixed by the label 'Mr Bongo' and released with the title "Rebirth" in England in 2002. The group recorded its own compositions as well as those of other composers, but with a sigular arrangement such as "Na baixa do sapateiro" (Ary Barroso), "Casa Forte" (Edu Lobo), etc. Compared to other foreign soul-funk groups, such as Kool and the Gang and Earth, Wind and Fire, the BANDA BLACK RIO developed a kind of instrumental soul music that was gladly accepted in other countries. In 1999, the group restructured itself and its new leader, WILLIAM MAGALHAES, replaced Oberdan Magalhaes, his father and the founder of the group that died in 1984.
