Cabruera

Cabruêra, a Brazilian musical group, was formed in 1998 in Campina Grande by students of the Federal University of Paraíba. The band blended traditional Brazilian music styles such as forró, baião, samba, and maracatu with elements of funk, ska, and rap, aligning with the mangue beat style. Their debut album, Cabruêra, was released in 2001 under Nikita Music. In the same year, Cabruêra won the award for Best Soundtrack at the Gramado Film Festival. Following this success, they relocated to Rio de Janeiro and embarked on extensive tours across Brazil and Europe, performing at notable events like the Roskilde Festival and Popkomm. Their subsequent albums include Proibido Cochilar (2005), Sons da Paraíba (2005), and Visagem (2010).
