One of the two main groups in the Boi-Bumbá festival tradition from the Brazilian Amazon.
For a sense of their sound, try 'Lanças Vermelhas' or 'Andirá' from their top songs. They give you the festival energy without needing to be in Parintins.
Boi Garantido has been performing since 1913, which makes them more than a century old. Their song 'Os Camisa-Encarnada' is a well-known anthem from their repertoire. They're part of an annual competition against the rival group Caprichoso, with elaborate costumes, dance, and music that define the festival.
Founded in 1913, they've performed through various periods including public controversies like a plagiarism accusation in 2012 and an incident involving their president in 2015. Their songs like 'Miscigenação' and 'Consciência Negra' reflect themes in their performances.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
