✧ Deixa a Gira Girar - Os Tincoas ✧
In the state of Bahia, Brazil, one of the strongholds of African culture, a musical group emerged, the vocal trio, Os Tincoãs, who conquered Brazil’s music scene of the 1960s-70s with their tight harmonies, beautiful voices, and repertoire of traditional songs.
In 1973, they recorded a self-titled album, which served as an important marker in the history of Brazilian music. Beyond the quality of the music and compositions, this album had characteristic vocal arrangements that came directly from the Candomblé houses of Bahia and incorporated only four instruments: the guitar, congas, agogô, and xequerê. One of the highlights of the album is the song “Deixa a Gira Girar,” a folkloric song that the group adapted for themselves. In this spirit, the dance was created honoring the ancestry and the powerful history of this song and its roots.
