Rei da Cacimbinha is a Brazilian arrocha band, formed in September 2014 by members Giovani Macedo, Igor Menezes and Hélio Pires.[1] Rei da Cacimbinha was formed in south Bahia, in Vitória da Conquista.[2] Vocalist Hélio Pires (John Falcão), however, is from Barra da Estiva, located in the Chapada Diamantina mountain range.[3]

The band rose to fame after the success of its song "Muriçoca", which has more than 8.5 million views on YouTube.[4] Supported by their Internet fame, the band is currently performing about 20 shows per month.[citation needed] The band recorded a DVD of their performance in Messias, Alagoas where they were performing before an audience of 30,000 people.[citation needed]

The band has been constantly receiving news about being plagiarized.[when?] Songs in the band's repertoire include: "Muriçoca", "Pop 100", "Meu pai é foda", "Comendo a quilo", and "Vai pegar gelo". Pop 100's music video was filmed in Recife, Pernambuco.[5][6][7]
