Editor's note

X-Positivo's carnival-ready mix of axé and funk

A Rio trio that turned childhood friendship into a dance-floor staple across Brazil.

For their sound, 'Só Curtição' is the obvious place to start. 'Equação do Amor' holds up as a sweaty, classic party track too.

Their debut single 'Só Curtição' hit in 2001 and became an instant anthem, blending Bahian axé with funk carioca rhythms in a way that felt fresh for the era. Songs like 'Equação do Amor' and 'Vem pro meu Mundo' kept that energy going, making them a fixture at carnival parties and dance clubs. Even after lead singer Saulo Bernard left in 2010, they adapted with André Filipe and kept releasing albums like 'O Baile' and 'Na Batida do Samba'.

They started as three friends in Rio in the mid-1990s, dropping 'Só Curtição' in 2001. The lineup shifted when Saulo Bernard went solo a decade later, but they kept touring and putting out records through the 2010s. These days it's Bernardo Vilhena and André Filipe on vocals, with Rafael Castro still on drums.

Archive material and source history

X-Positivo formed in Rio de Janeiro in the mid-1990s with three childhood friends: Bernardo Vilhena, Saulo Bernard, and Rafael Castro. Their debut album 'Só Curtição' came out in 2001, with the title track becoming an instant hit. That song, along with others like 'Equação do Amor' and 'Vem pro meu Mundo,' helped establish their sound, which mixed Bahian axé with funk carioca rhythms.

After their initial success, they released several more albums including 'Deixa Rolá' in 2002 and 'Vem Cá' in 2004. In 2010, lead vocalist Saulo Bernard left to pursue a solo career, and the band brought in André Filipe as their new singer. They continued recording and touring, putting out albums like 'O Baile' in 2013 and 'Na Batida do Samba' in 2017.

Their music became particularly popular during carnival celebrations and dance parties across Brazil. The current lineup includes Bernardo Vilhena and André Filipe on vocals, Rafael Castro on drums, Marcelo Manduzio on bass, Toni Costa on guitar, and Fred Ferreira on keyboards.
