Amigos do Axé

**Amigos do Axé** is a Brazilian musical group deeply rooted in the vibrant traditions of Afro-Brazilian spirituality and culture. Known for their live performances, they blend energetic rhythms with sacred pontos (ritual songs) honoring orixás like Exu, Ogum, and Oxum, as well as entities like Preto Velho and Boiadeiro from Umbanda and Candomblé traditions. Their releases, such as *Pontos de Preto Velho (Ao Vivo)* and *Ela É Oxum*, showcase their commitment to preserving and celebrating these spiritual connections through music, often merging ceremonial reverence with the upbeat, communal vibe of axé and samba-reggae. While their exact origins and lineup aren’t widely documented, their work resonates with audiences seeking both cultural authenticity and lively, soul-stirring grooves.
