A Northeastern Brazilian band whose name comes from the region's agricultural donkey harness.
For their sound, 'Ana Carolina' gives you the forró roots. 'Ataque Das Primas' shows their catalog's energy.
They formed in Ceará in the 1980s, taking their name from the donkey yoke used in local agriculture. Their music draws directly from Northeastern forró traditions, with songs like 'Ana Carolina' showing that connection. They've worked with artists including Geraldo Azevedo, Elba Ramalho, and Alceu Valença.
Their first album 'Cangaia de Jegue' came out in 1986, followed by 'O Grito do Sabiá' in 1989. The lineup has featured Antônio José on vocals and guitar, Alexandre Gonçalves on accordion, and Roberto Albuquerque on zabumba. They released 'Viva Cangaia de Jegue' in 2016.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
