Background notes
Archive material and source history
Os Xocoteiros formed in the late 1990s in Salvador, Bahia. Their debut album 'Aputaro Com As Tias' came out in 2002, with the title track becoming a nationwide hit.
Their music drew from samba, axé, and forró, and later incorporated funk, rock, and reggae elements. They released albums like 'Coração Baiano' in 2004 and 'O Som do Gueto' in 2009. Songs like 'Tás A Se Mentir' and 'Xocota Na Banda' show their style.
In 2005, the band faced a legal dispute over the rights to 'Aputaro Com As Tias' with songwriter Alice Moraes, which was settled out of court. Their music was often criticized for vulgarity and perceived misogyny.
The core members included Jorge Aragão on vocals, Beto Jamaica on guitar, Marcelinho Oliveira on bass, Rubinho Bahia on drums, and Nino Balla on keyboards. They were known as a popular live act with energetic performances.
