Biography

The band Peixe Elétrico emerged in January 1999, in Prainha Branca, Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo. With a sound that blends forró pé-de-serra with influences from MPB and reggae, the group established itself as a reference in the university forró scene. Throughout their career, they have released four albums: "Peixelétrico" (2001), "Realidade ou Ilusão" (2004), "Ligação" (2009), and "+ Amor" (2021).

The group is known for its energetic and danceable performances, which celebrate joy and Brazilianness. The original repertoire of Ricardo Trip, lead vocalist and main composer, dialogues with classics of traditional forró, while incorporating elements of frevo, samba, and coco. In 2022, they released the song "Valeu", in partnership with the group Falamansa, showing the strength of collaborations within Brazilian music.

In 2024, Peixe Elétrico celebrates 25 years of career with the release of a new commemorative album, which features guest appearances by artists such as Marcelo Jeneci and Tato from Falamansa. The band continues to bring its contagious music throughout Brazil, keeping the essence of forró alive with a modern and highly personable touch.
