Os Caboclos is a musical group whose work is deeply rooted in the rich spiritual and cultural traditions of Brazil, particularly those associated with afro-Brazilian religions such as Umbanda and Candomblé. Their music is an homage to the entities and orixás (deities) revered in these religious practices, characteristically vibrant and infused with rhythms that evoke the spiritual ceremonies they draw inspiration from.
The group's repertoire, as evidenced by their recent releases like "Aruandê... Aruandá...", "Na Gira de Mamãe Oxum", and "Na Gira de Iansã", reflects a dedication to the exploration of various aspects of the spiritual practice through song. Their titles often reference "Gira," a term used in Umbanda and Candomblé to describe the gatherings for worship and communication with spirits. Through their music, Os Caboclos provide listeners with a passage into the world of these Afro-Brazilian religions, celebrating the energies and stories of the orixás—such as Mamãe Oxum, the goddess of love and wealth, and Iansã, the goddess of winds, storms, and transformation. With reverence and rhythmic flair, Os Caboclos captures both the essence of the giras and the communal spirit that lies at the heart of their spiritual traditions.
