Banda Calypso was assembled in Belém, the state capital of Pará in Brazil, in late 90s by the couple Chimbinha and Joelma. Restricted to Brazil's northern musical circuit in their early days, Calypso today enjoys great success countrywide. Well known for catchy and simplistic lyrics mixed up with highly danceable music, Calypso is the latest fever in Brazil, attracting hundreds of people to their shows, wherever they play (and also attracting the rage of more intellectualized music listeners, who refute their songs as annoying, repetitive, futile and empty).
