Chiclete com Banana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chiclete com Banana is an Axé music band, currently consisting of Bell Marques, Wadinho Marques, Rey, Waltinho Cruz, Deny and Lelo. They released their first album, called "Traz os montes", in 1982.

Chiclete com Banana is one of the most successful bands of the Axé music genre in Brazil. Chiclete rose to fame in Bahia in the 1980s like other Axé bands and artists (like the famous Ivete Sangalo). Today, Chiclete is one of the most popular and expensive micaretas during Carnaval in Bahia, although they perform throughout Brazil all year. Their shows can be R$ 2.000 for 3 days (about 1200 dollars) or more during Carnaval in Salvador. They usually have anywhere from 200.000 to 500.000 people walking along their sound truck (or Trio Elétrico). This is divided in about 5.000 - 10.000 people inside the "ropes" who bought the abadás, special shirts that everyone wears.
