Background notes
Archive material and source history
Grupo Kivontade came together in Salvador, Bahia in the late 1980s, with Nelson Rufino as their frontman. Their self-titled debut album arrived in 1991 and included the song 'De Repente,' which became a funk hit in Brazil.
They put out several more albums through the 1990s, like 'Só Pra Balançar' in 1993 and 'Balança Brasil' in 1995. In 1996, they faced accusations of plagiarizing a song on their album 'Funk Brasil,' which led to a legal dispute.
The group's lineup changed at times, and they kept recording into the 2000s with albums such as 'Experiência' in 2002. Their music mixed Afro-Brazilian rhythms with funk and soul, and later incorporated some reggae and pop elements.
