Lá Vem a Tribo is a transitional album in Pau Brasil’s trajectory. It outlines a new period that followed the entry of Teco Cardoso and Lelo Nazario in the group. "Whenever a new member joins Pau Brasil, bringing with him new compositions, the rest of the quintet interacts with him and adapts itself" notes Rodolfo Stroeter.

After playing traditional rhythms and various forms of Brazilian music in the preceding albums, the quintet decided to move in a previously unexplored direction – that of indigenous music. “I was always interested in leading Pau Brasil’s repertory back to a time before samba, back to the beginning of Brazilian history. I felt we needed to remind people of at least one of the country’s savage aspects”, Stroeter reports.

The intention to approach the universe of indigenous music generated the composition titled ‘Lá Vem a Tribo’, a Stroeter-Bellinati partnership which opens the album and was re-recorded in 'Daqui' (2015) with the English sax and bass clarinet player John Surman as special guest.
