Xote Chik formed in Petrolina, Brazil in 1996, led by vocalist and accordionist Chiquinho França and percussionist Léo Almeida. They started playing local festivals and dance halls, building a following with traditional forró music from their region.
They've released albums like "Forró Pesado" in 1999, "De Bem Com a Vida" in 2002, and "Forró No Escuro" in 2012. Songs like "Forró No Escuro" and "Fuxico" show their straightforward approach to the genre.
In the early 2000s, some traditionalists criticized the band for incorporating modern elements into their music. The group includes Rafael Araújo on guitar, Danilo Silva on bass, and Fábio Alves on drums alongside França and Almeida.
