Biography

The Brazilian band Catuaba com Amendoim was created in 1996 and quickly carved out a space in the electronic and stylized forró scene. Initially integrated by artists such as Socorrinha, Kiko, Cláudia Lombardi, Luciano, B. Jota, Francisco José and Francisco José II, the group stood out with memorable hits, such as the song "Saga de Um Vaqueiro". Belonging to the Mastruz com Leite group and managed by businessman Emanuel Gurgel, the lineup built a solid discography throughout the nineties and the 2000s, with memorable albums like "O Tesão do Forró" and tributes to icons of northeastern music.

After a period of inactivity in which it was deactivated by its manager in 2018, the band returned to the stage and studios in 2022. With a new vocal lineup featuring Vivi, Naldo Freitas and Black cantor, the group reaffirmed its importance within northeastern forró. The trajectory of Catuaba com Amendoim directly dialogues with the evolution of the genre brought about by other major references in electronic forró from the same era.

Throughout its career, the band has released several notable works, including live recordings, acoustic albums and thematic records. Sharing the same musical ecosystem with consecrated names of stylized forró, the group kept tradition and rhythmic innovation alive, consolidating its cultural legacy in the Northeast and the rest of Brazil.
