They formed in 2002 and found their sound with the outlaw ballad "Maria Bonita e Lampião."
For a quick sense of them, listen to "Maria Bonita e Lampião" and "Rock do Branco." They tell you most of what you need to know.
Banda C4 matters because they put a local spin on forró, drawing from Northeast Brazilian stories. Their 2005 album "Forró do C4" gave them a hit with "Maria Bonita e Lampião," a song about legendary outlaw lovers. Tracks like "Rock do Branco" and "Do Que Eu Não Conheço" show their range within the genre.
The band started in Campina Grande in 2002 with Isac Júnior on vocals and Guinho on accordion. After guitarist Alisson Santana died in a 2009 car accident, they released a tribute album. Their catalog includes songs like "Cinco Quem" and "O Covil da Politicagem."
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
