Archive material and source history
G.R.E.S Preto Velho formed in 1981 in Rio de Janeiro's Mare neighborhood. The group took its name from an Afro-Brazilian spiritual entity, and Neguinho da Beija-Flor served as their lead singer.
Their 1996 single 'Peguei um Ita no Norte' became a national hit, a catchy samba that celebrated Brazil's northern region. The song's lyrics drew criticism from some who interpreted them as referencing illegal activities.
Preto Velho released their self-titled debut album in 1991. The group included musicians like Xande de Pilares on vocals and Paulinho Mocidade on drums.
