Tribalistas (2002 album)

Tribalistas (pronounced [tɾibaˈlistɐs, tɾibaˈliʃtɐʃ], lit. 'Tribalists') is the debut studio album by the Brazilian musical supergroup of the same name. It was released on 4 November 2002, on the independent record label Phonomotor, distributed by EMI. From the start of their careers, Brazilian musicians Arnaldo Antunes, Carlinhos Brown and Marisa Monte were present at each other's performances on a regular basis, while also maintaining a personal friendship. In 2001, Monte was invited to contribute vocals to one of the tracks on Antunes' fifth studio album, Paradeiro, which Brown was producing in Salvador, Bahia. The visit, which was scheduled to last just two days, ended up lasting a week.
