100% Pagode formed in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais in 2001. The group's original lineup included vocalists Leandro Lehart, Alexandre Pires, and Danilo, with Márcio Art on cavaquinho, Luizão on pandeiro, and Binho on tan-tan. They released their debut album that same year.
When Alexandre Pires left in 2003 to pursue a solo career, the band brought in Rodriguinho as a replacement vocalist. They continued recording through the mid-2000s with albums like 'Pra Sempre' in 2003 and 'A Gente Fez a Festa' in 2005. Their song 'Jeito De Olhar' became particularly well-known.
In 2019, the group faced some public criticism over alleged involvement in a corruption scheme, though they denied any wrongdoing. Their catalog includes tracks like 'Amor Virtual', 'Quero Você', and 'Sem Poder Ter Você' alongside their more recognizable material.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
