Biography

The group Bambas de Berço emerged in Rio de Janeiro in 2009, formed by children of renowned samba and pagode musicians and composers. The idea was to continue the family tradition, bringing together talents such as Arlindo Neto (son of Arlindo Cruz), Marquinhos Nunes (son of Marquinhos PQD), Paulão Rufino (son of Sérgio Rufino), Marcos Esgulebinha (son of Marcos Esguleba), Henrique Arcanjo (son of Mestre Coé), Ricardo Fonseca (nephew of Andrézinho), and Renato Moraes (son of Regina Moraes).

In 2010, the group released their self-titled debut CD, "Bambas de Berço", which featured standout tracks such as "Amor, de volta amor", "Apelo", "Bambas de berço", and "Se não der não deu". That same year, they held memorable performances, including a show alongside their parents and artists like Maria Rita and Monarco, in addition to participating in the celebration of Arlindo Cruz's 50th birthday, where they shared the stage with Zeca Pagodinho and Beth Carvalho. The group also had a run at Teatro Rival BR with the project "Grupo Bambas de Berço & Convidados", hosting other artists with musical lineage.

Bambas de Berço stand out for performing gems by great names in samba, such as Arlindo Cruz and Fundo de Quintal, in addition to original compositions that reflect the musical heritage of their parents. The group represents the new generation of samba, keeping alive the tradition and musical quality that consecrated their predecessors, and they have already performed alongside names like Diogo Nogueira and other important artists of the Brazilian musical scene.
