Os Xarás do Forró formed in Fortaleza in 1992, started by José Airton and Luizinho do Acordeon. They played traditional forró with a modern touch, and their first album, 'Forró Xarangüê,' did well enough to get them noticed. Early on, they had Zeca Pagodinho on vocals and Caju on percussion, though both left before the late 1990s.
Their sound kept moving, picking up bits of sertanejo and pop over time. Songs like 'Jeito de Menina' and 'Cena de Ciúmes' became regulars at parties and on radio. The band went through lineup changes, adding vocalists Simone e Simaria and percussionist Toninho do Acordeon later on.
The current group includes José Airton, Luizinho do Acordeon, Simone e Simaria, Toninho do Acordeon, Magrão on bass, Carlos Alberto on keyboard, and Priscila on backing vocals.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
