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

Timbalada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Margarida do barro
Margarida no carro
Margarida do bairro
Encontrei Margarida chorona
Me pedindo carona
Pronde eu vou, você vai
O meu olho já lhe espionava
Se me faltar palavras
Vou dizer te amar
Venha cá, venha cá
Venha cá, venha cá
Venha cá, venha cá
Venha cá
Purucutum pa pum, pa pum
Purucutum pa pum, pa pum
The lyrics of Timbalada's song Margarida Perfumada depict the singer's encounter with a woman named Margarida, who appears in various forms such as in a vase, made of clay, in a car, and from the neighborhood. The singer meets a weeping Margarida and offers her a ride. He contemplates expressing his feelings for her, but words fail him. Instead, he decides to convey his love to her through his actions. He invites her to come closer, and the lyrics end with a repetition of the rhythmic sound "Purucutum pa pum, pa pum."
The lyrics of this song are open to interpretation, and the meaning depends on the perspective of the listener. One possible interpretation is that the song speaks to the universality of love, which transcends barriers such as social status, language, and culture. The singer sees Margarida in various forms but recognizes her essence in each, showing that love is not determined by external factors but rather a shared human experience. Another interpretation is that the song employs Margarida as a symbol of the beauty and fragility of life, which the singer yearns to protect.
