Grupo Fundo de Quintal is one of Brazil's most iconic samba groups, widely recognized for pioneering the genre of pagode in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Emerging from the famous samba circles at Cacique de Ramos in Rio de Janeiro, the group incorporated new instruments into traditional samba, like the tantã, banjo, and repique de mão, shaping a modern sound that revolutionized the genre. Their innovative style quickly gained popularity and influenced countless artists who followed.
Over the decades, Fundo de Quintal has had various lineup changes, with celebrated musicians like Arlindo Cruz, Jorge Aragão, and Sombrinha having been part of the group at different points. Despite changes, the group has remained a beloved fixture in Brazilian music, known for their infectious rhythms, rich harmonies, and anthemic songs that celebrate love, friendship, and the joy of samba. With a career spanning over four decades, they continue to release new music and perform, keeping the spirit of samba alive for new generations.
