Xará formed in São Paulo in 2003 with Gabriel Geraissati, Gustavo Albuquerque, Bernardo Prado, and Hugo Hori. Their early single "Deixa Os Garoto" became a hit in 2008, pushing them into wider recognition. The band's sound pulls from Brazilian pop and funk, with songs like "No Meu Império" and "Estação Quinze" showing their knack for catchy melodies.
They've worked with other Brazilian artists including Juju Gomes, who appears on "Estação Quinze" and "Noite." Their albums "Pra Você Lembrar" (2011) and "O Mundo É Nosso" (2014) continued to build their presence. The music often incorporates elements of soul and electronic touches alongside their pop foundation.
Xará's lineup has stayed consistent, with Geraissati on vocals, Albuquerque on guitar, Prado on bass, and Hori on drums. Their influences range from Brazilian figures like Tim Maia and Jorge Ben Jor to international artists such as Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. Tracks like "Última Vez" and "Raízes" reflect that blend of styles.
