Xameguinho do Forró Oficial

Xameguinho do Forró Oficial formed in 2004 in Ceará, a region known for forró music. They built a following with energetic live shows and songs like 'Chupa Na Cabaca' and 'Tava Lá No Bar' that kept people dancing.

Their 2007 single 'A Galinha Da Vizinha' became a national hit, with its catchy melody and playful lyrics about a neighbor's hen. That song helped define their sound, which sometimes mixed forró with other Brazilian styles, though not everyone in traditional circles approved of those experiments.

They've released albums including 'Arrastando a Chinela' in 2006, 'O Forró do Xameguinho' in 2007, and 'Xameguinho do Forró Oficial 10 Anos' in 2014. Their music often deals with everyday situations and relationships, as in songs like 'Ela Ganhou Meu Coração' and 'Destruiu Nossos Planos'.
