A Brazilian pagode group that started in 1986 and became a household name with songs about love and everyday life.
For a quick sense of their vibe, try 'Me Apaixonei Pela Pessoa Errada' or 'Calma Amor'. Both have that easy, melodic samba feel they do so well.
Exaltasamba's sound defined a certain era of Brazilian samba, mixing romantic themes with the loose, percussive feel of pagode. Songs like 'Me Apaixonei Pela Pessoa Errada' are still played at parties and on the radio, a testament to how their music sticks. They've been through lineup shifts and personal losses, but the cavaquinho player Sombrinha has kept the group's identity steady for decades.
They began as a street group in São Paulo in 1986, building a local following before breaking through nationally in the mid-1990s. Albums like 'Telegrama' in 1996 and 'O show tem que continuar' in 2002 marked different phases, with members like Péricles, Thiaguinho, and Xande de Pilares coming and going over the years.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
