"Vendaval" (Gale in English) is a song by Brazilian brega pop band Banda Calypso, recorded for their 1999 debut album Volume 1. It was their first single.

Commercial performance[edit]

The song did not have a national impact; however, it had a large impact in Belém and cities in the Northeast of Brazil.[citation needed]

The music was present in the top 3 compilations of the band, Os 20 Super Sucessos, Os Maiores Sucessos, and As 20+. It also achieved considerable success in 2001 when it was re-recorded by the band Calcinha Preta in their CD volume 7, Seu Coração vai A´render o que é Paixão.[citation needed]

According to Joelma and Chimbinha, fans request many old songs, such as Vendaval, for new shows. On tour, in Sweden, the band did not take the music repertoire and made a simple presentation without choreography or effects, simply Joelma and the public.[citation needed]
