Raça Negra () or also The Black Race, in English, is a Brazilian ''pagode'' group from São Paulo. The ensemble formed in 1983, but did not release their first album until 1991, after a demo tape got them signed to RGE.〔(Raça Negra ) at Allmusic.com〕 The album spawned numerous hits in Brazil, and over the next decade the group went on to sell millions of albums. They have made many appearances on Brazilian television. Among their hits are "Caroline", "Quero Ver Você Chorar," "Somente Você," "Chega", "Cigana," "Quando Te Encontrei," "Cheia de Manias," "Doce Paixão," and "Me Leva Junto com Você". The group's music is perhaps best known to the English-speaking world as a result of a slipup at a Brazilian CD pressing plant in 1999. Several hundred copies of AOL CD-ROMs were accidentally pressed with a Raça Negra album instead of the company software.〔(AOL Waltzes into Brazil, Unprepared for the Samba ). ''New York Times'', December 11, 1999. Accessed December 29, 2007.〕 It is noticeable that the ensemble does not present a cavaquinho or banjo, traditional instruments in the genre of pagode. ==Members== ;Current members *Luiz Carlos - vocals, guitar *Paulinho - bass *Fernando Monstrinho *Fininho (João Roberto) *Fena - percussion *Edson Café ;Former members Gabú (1991–1997) - percussion 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Raça Negra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
