Chiclete com Banana

Chiclete com Banana (Portuguese for "chewing gum with banana") is a Brazilian axé music band, formed in 1980 by Missinho Amorim (vocals and guitar), Bell Marques (bass), Cacik Jonne (guitar), Rey Gramacho (drums), Waltinho Cruz (percussion), Deny Urpia (percussion), and Rubinho Gramacho (percussion). Initially, the band performed in bars and university parties, playing covers of international rock and pop hits. The transition to a repertoire with carnival influences and Bahian rhythms occurred in the late 1980s, consolidating the style that would come to be called axé. Their most famous album, Gritos de Guerra, released in 1987, sold one million copies.

The band is one of the main groups responsible for popularizing the Bahian carnival by organizing micaretas (out-of-season carnivals) throughout Brazil. The group maintains a fan base known as chicleteiros.
