Background notes
Archive material and source history
Carrapeta was the stage name of José Costa de Aquino, a musician from Rio de Janeiro known for his flamboyant style and provocative lyrics. He wore colorful costumes and eccentric eyewear, and his songs often contained explicit language and sexual references that challenged social norms of the time.
His most famous song was 'Cineminha Gozado,' which became a national sensation in Brazil with its catchy melody and bawdy humor. The track showcased his approach to music, which blended elements of samba, funk, and Brazilian pop into something that was both danceable and deliberately transgressive.
Carrapeta released several albums in the 1970s, including 'Carrapeta Canta' in 1974, 'Paraíso da Gandaia' in 1975, and 'O Mundo da Carrapeta' in 1979. His band featured a rotating group of musicians, with his brother João Costa de Aquino often playing bass and percussion, and a guitarist named Rubão serving as a longtime musical partner.
