Raimundo Sodre

Raymundo Nonato Sodré (born 23 July 1947 in Ipirá, Bahia), is a Brazilian musician known for working in rootsy styles of music outside of the mainstream. He was raised by his mother, filha-de-santo in a terreiro of candomblé Angola outside of Ipirá run by her mãe-de-santo sister (Sodré's aunt). It was in this house of candomblé that Sodré learned to drum. He later learned to play guitar, taught at first by his mother.
