Background notes
Archive material and source history
Xote Apimentado formed in Recife in 2012 around singer-songwriter Monique Franklin. They work with the traditional xote rhythm from Brazil's Northeast, but give it a contemporary pop feel. Their debut album was called "Recanto do Vento." Later records like "Viva la Diferença" and "Travessia" kept that foundation while trying different sounds.
Their song "Contratempos" from 2015 stirred up some debate for its lyrics about gender and sexuality. The band has often used their music to talk about social issues, which hasn't always gone over smoothly in more conservative circles. They've stuck with that approach anyway.
The current lineup includes Monique Franklin on vocals and guitar, Léo Almeida on bass, Rafael Rocha on drums, and Juliana Linhares handling backing vocals and percussion. Another track people know is "Sentimento Bom."
