Biography

Circuladô de Fulô is a prominent Brazilian band formed in the year 2000 in São Paulo, known for their vibrant fusion of forró universitário and reggae. The group's journey began when young musicians Júnior, Gustavo, and Edu Ribeiro crossed paths within the bustling São Paulo forró circuit and decided to unite their talents to create a fresh musical project.

Throughout their extensive career, the band has undergone several lineup changes while maintaining their distinct energy and popularity on the charts. In 2003, original vocalist Edu Ribeiro departed to pursue a solo career, paving the way for André Garibaldi to take over lead vocals. Following further evolution, including the tenure of Gustavo Brunatti, the band continued to release notable albums such as "Levitar" and "Lual", eventually welcoming Thiaguinho as the current lead vocalist.

The group has shared the rich cultural landscape of Brazilian roots and northeastern rhythms alongside renowned acts like Falamansa and Bicho de Pé. Their enduring presence in the national scene is marked by celebrated releases like their 2006 live album and the 2019 retrospective celebrating fifteen years of music-making.
