É O Tchan is acknowledged as the originators of the style of music known as Pagode, this deviant form of samba unique to Salvador. In the mid 90s, the group hit on their formula for success, double-entendre lyrics with explicitly sexual themes, that has become the signature of the pagode genre. The original band regrouped for Carnival 2011 and has again become hugely popular.
