Top Samba formed in 1985 in Rio de Janeiro, a group of musicians drawn to traditional samba. Their song 'Brasil Calor' became widely associated with Brazilian summer and carnival celebrations. In 1995, the band faced plagiarism allegations regarding that same song, with critics pointing to similarities with an earlier composition by another musician.
They released several albums including 'Samba Calor' in 1987 and 'Brasil Calor' in 1990. Other songs like 'Cabelo Solto' and 'Trilha Sonora' also appeared in their catalog. The original lineup included Jorge Ben Jor on vocals and guitar, along with Paulinho da V.
