The only Adoniran Barbosa song never recorded by Demônios da Garoa is finally here — in a landmark version featuring Seu Jorge, marking 80 years of the group.
Eighty years of history, and one song that waited for the perfect moment. Demônios da Garoa, one of Brazil’s most iconic samba groups, has released an official recording of “Despejo na Favela” — a composition by Adoniran Barbosa — for the very first time, in a special version featuring Seu Jorge. It was the only Adoniran classic that had never been officially captured by the group across decades of recording history.
A historic live performance
The track was recorded live during the “80 Anos de Carreira” (80 Years of Career) concert and is now available on all digital platforms via ONErpm. The release comes with an audiovisual that captures the full emotional weight of the performance.
The pairing of Demônios da Garoa and Seu Jorge goes beyond a musical collaboration. It is a celebration of two distinct eras of Brazilian popular music converging on stage — delivering a powerful, relevant, and historically charged interpretation.
Legacy meets a new generation
True to its roots yet energized by Seu Jorge’s distinctive presence, “Despejo na Favela” bridges generations. The group demonstrates that after eight decades, Demônios da Garoa remains not only alive but in active conversation with contemporary Brazilian music.
The release reaffirms the group’s relevance and its ability to reinvent itself over time while preserving its unique identity.
Formed in 1940s São Paulo, Demônios da Garoa became nationally renowned for interpreting the compositions of Adoniran Barbosa, including classics like “Trem das Onze” and “Saudosa Maloca”. Their straightforward language, everyday characters, and distinctly Paulistano accent helped define what is known as São Paulo samba — a legacy they continue to honor and expand.
