Calcinha Preta is an iconic Brazilian forró band known for revolutionizing the genre with their electrifying style and romantic lyrics. Emerging from the city of Aracaju in Sergipe in 1996, the group was formed by entrepreneur Gilton Andrade with a vision to blend traditional forró with contemporary pop elements. Over the years, Calcinha Preta has become a household name within Brazil's music scene, largely due to their dynamic performances and infectious rhythms that effortlessly fuse elements of forró eletrônico and sertanejo.

The band's name, which translates to "Black Panties" in English, is an allusion to the intimate and often sensual nature of their lyrics, which speak of love, relationships, and passion. Calcinha Preta has enjoyed widespread success and longevity in the Brazilian music industry, consistently releasing hit albums and singles. With a discography that spans over two decades, their recent releases such as "Faxina no Coração" and "Ao Vivo em São Paulo" continue to enthrall fans, old and new. Celebrating their 25th anniversary through the live album "CP 25 Anos (Ao Vivo em Aracaju)," the band has shown its enduring appeal and influence on the Brazilian forró scene. Calcinha Preta's legacy is marked by its ability to evolve while maintaining the vibrant spirit of their roots—a testament to their status as forró legends.
