Xega Xegando is a forró band from Fortaleza, Brazil, that started around 2016. Their debut album 'Forrozeando' came out in 2017, with the title track becoming a popular summer song. The band includes vocalist Xegando, accordionist Rafael Almeida, bassist Pablo Barros, and drummer Isaac Lima.
Their sound mixes traditional forró with more modern elements, which has drawn some criticism about authenticity from certain listeners. They've released other albums like 'Xega Com Tudo' in 2019 and 'Só Pra Curtir' in 2023, with songs such as 'Mar de Felicidade' and 'Sol de Verão' among their tracks.
They perform with a lot of energy on stage, and their music has found an audience in Brazil's forró charts. The band has continued playing and recording, maintaining their approach to the genre.
