## Summary

Xote de Viola formed in the late 1990s in Arcoverde, Pernambuco, led by vocalist and composer Carlinhos Cavalcanti. Their sound draws from the rhythmic dance form called xote, along with samba, forró, and baião. The band's 2001 debut album 'Balacobaco' gave them their breakthrough, with the title track becoming a radio hit across Brazil. They followed that with albums like 'Na Base da Bossa' in 2003 and 'Samba de Primeira'...
