Zumbaya formed in Rio de Janeiro in 2005 with Bruno Xavier on vocals, Fábio Souza on percussion, and Pedro Ferreira on guitar. They started playing local clubs and festivals, developing a sound that mixed Brazilian samba with pop and funk elements.
Their 2007 debut album "Deixa Eu Te Beijar?" gave them their breakthrough, with the title track becoming a hit in Brazil. Other songs from that period like "A Mais Perfeita" and "Anel do Desejo" helped establish their presence. The group's lineup changed over time, with Fábio Souza leaving in 2010 and new members joining, including João Carlos on bass, Renato Martins on drums, and Thiago Silva on percussion.
They released several more albums including "Tudo o Que Você Quiser" in 2009, a self-titled album in 2011, and live recordings like "Ao Vivo no Circo Voador" in 2013. Their music includes tracks like "Cantador," "Cristais," and "Minha Paz" that continued their blend of Brazilian rhythms with accessible pop arrangements.
