Se Você Jurar
Ismael Silva
1973

Why This Album Matters
The album Se Você Jurar, released in 1973, represents a high point in Ismael Silva's discography, one of the most original and fundamental names in the history of Rio samba. Recognised as one of the genre's precursors and of the samba school itself, Ismael imbued his compositions with a unique quality that distinguished him in the effervescent bohemian scene of Rio de Janeiro. This work gains even more relevance because it was released at a late stage in his career, when the sambista had already returned to the music scene. The album's title directly evokes the samba "Se você jurar", a seminal song by Ismael and a classic recognised as one of the most beautiful sambas ever composed, underscoring the artist's historical and artistic importance in this recording.
Context
Ismael Silva, a central figure in the formation of samba, had a career marked by difficulties and reversals. Born in Niterói, he moved as a child to Estácio, a crucial neighbourhood for the genesis of modern samba. There, with Nílton Bastos and Francisco Alves, he formed the trio Bambas do Estácio, the birthplace of sambas that shaped the genre. Ismael was also one of the founders of the bloco Deixa Falar, considered the precursor to the first samba school. After a period of seclusion in the 1930s, Ismael Silva returned to the Rio scene only in the 1950s, facing great financial difficulties. However, his recognition as an authentic sambista gradually solidified, and the 1973 album, entitled Se Você Jurar, emerged as a landmark of his return and the celebration of his work during this period.
Songs
The song that titles the album, "Se você jurar", is one of the most significant in Ismael Silva's repertoire, revered as one of the most beautiful sambas in the history of Brazilian music. It emerged from Ismael's collaboration with Nílton Bastos and Francisco Alves during the golden era of Bambas do Estácio, highlighting the richness and depth of his samba roots.
