Bio:
Samba Chula Filhos da Pitangueira is a traditional samba group in the village of São Francisco do Conde, located at the northern end of Bahia's Baía de Todos os Santos (Bay of All Saints).
The group was formed by chuleiro Zeca Afonsa, following his grandfather's last wish to see his grandson follow in his steps and not let this music die.
A beloved member of the group was Zé de Lelinha, player of an instrument called "viola de machete", of Portuguese origin but sounding African when played in the traditional Bahian manner. Zé passed several years ago and the viola is now played by a younger acolyte, Milton Prima.
