A product of the brilliant imagination of singer, songwriter and virtuoso percussionist Carlinhos Brown, Timbalada does justice to Bahia's rhythmic tradition and, at the same time, introduces modernity and boldness to it. The main singer's hoarse voice, the non-sense of the lyrics, the tribal painting an the collective use of sunglasses helped to place Timbalada among the most original and ceative bands to appear in the last years.
Timbalada is an Afro-Brazilian musician group from Candeal, Salvador, Brazil. It was founded by drummer Carlinhos Brown. The musical style is between samba reggae and axé, with strong influences from African music. They are a highly popular group that regularly plays sold-out shows throughout Brazil.
The group is mostly known for its active participation to the carnival each year in the streets of Salvador de Bahia. It also engages in social activism by working with needy children, providing education and drum courses to help them in social integration.
Musically, Timbalada is credited with two major innovations in the instrumentation of Afro-Brazilian music: the revival of the timbal (a tall, high-pitched hand drum), and the development of a rack of 3 surdos (bass drums) that can be played by a single player. The timbal, which had been nearly extinct before Timbalada began featuring it, has since become widespread in many Afro-Brazilian genres, including axé and samba-reggae. The rack of surdos, also called a bateria-de-surdo (surdo drumset) is now widely used by many groups for stage performances when not parading. Because the bateria-de-surdo can only hold 3 surdos within arm's reach of a single player, the traditional 4-surdo arrangements of many samba-reggae rhythms is often trimmed down to a 3-surdo arrangement

The lyrics of Timbalada's song Água Mineral speak about the essential value of drinking water. The first line, "Bebeu água, não" literally means "did you drink water, no?", implying that one should drink water regularly. The next line, "Tá com sede, tô" means "if you're thirsty, I am too", emphasizing the importance of staying hydrated. The repeated phrases "Olha, olha, olha, olha a água mineral" and "Água mineral" are a way of calling attention to the purity and freshness of mineral water. The line "Do Candeal" is a reference to the neighborhood of Salvador, Bahia where Timbalada originates, thus adding a sense of cultural belonging to the song. The last line, "Você vai ficar legal" means "you're going to be okay", possibly a reference to the restorative and healing properties of water.
In essence, the song conveys the message that drinking water is important for one's well-being and should be consumed regularly. The repetition of the phrase "Água mineral" is a way of making the message stick in the listener's mind.
