Micajham was founded in 1998 by three young musicians: siblings Jorge and Igor Aguiar, and their cousin Lucas Santos. The trio's sound, a fusion of traditional Brazilian rhythms and contemporary pop elements, resonated with a wide audience.
Discography and Commercial Success:
Micajham released their debut album, "Não Me Esqueça," in 2005. The title track became an instant hit, propelling the album to platinum status in Brazil. The band's subsequent albums, including "Pra Você" (2007) and "Só Pra Você" (2010), further solidified their position as one of the country's most popular music acts.
Challenges and Controversies:
Micajham's ascent to fame was not without its challenges. In 2009, Lucas Santos departed from the group amid allegations of internal conflicts. The band forged ahead as a duo, but the absence of Santos left a noticeable void in their sound.
Controversy erupted in 2015 when Micajham was accused of plagiarism in their song "Fico Assim Sem Você."
