'''Cangaia de Jegue''' is a Brazilian band from [[Jequié]], southwest [[Bahia]], [[Brazil]]. It has released albums ''Cangaia de Jegue'' (2004) and ''Você vai ver'' (2006) and a live album ''Cangaia de Jegue – Ao Vivo)'' in 2009. The band is very popular in [[Bahia]] state which is its base.  The greatest claim to fame of '''Banda Cangaia de Jegue''' is their hit "[[Ai se eu te pego!]]". The song appears also in their promotional CD album of same title ''Ai se eu te pego!''.  The song co-written by Sharon Acioly and Antônio Dyggs (and sung much earlier by Os Meninos de Seu Zeh directed by Antônio Dyggs), became a later massive Brazilian and international hit by Brazilian singer [[Michel Teló]] with slightly amended lyrics.
==Career==
In August 2002, four Brazilian university students got together in Jequié nicknamed "A cidade do sol" (city of sun) forming a band that played at university gigs and various social occasions. They wanted to call it the Cangaia band (local slang for "yoke" put on animals to carry the load). But discovering that the name was already used by another band, they decided to add "of something" so they picked the donkey (jegue) renaming the band "Cangaia de Jegue" (the yoke of the donkey) in a cheeky reference to the commonly known area "República dos Jegues" (the republic of donkeys).<ref name="bn">[http://www.bahianoticias.com.br/holofote/entrevista/141-cangaia-de-jegue-diz-que-seu-maxixe-nao-e-concorrencia-para-ela-e-fala-sobre-seus-hits-fazerem-suces.html Interview by ''Bahia Noticias'': Cangaia de Jegue diz que Seu Maxixe não é concorrência para ela e fala sobre seus hits fazerem sucesso na voz de outros cantores] (in Portuguese)</ref>
Becoming instantly popular in their city, singer Norberto Curvello penned the song "Saudade do Interior" in gratitude followed by the 2004 self-titled album ''Cangaia de Jegue'', with many tracks becoming hits on local Bahia radio, most notably the songs "O beijo teu" (Your Kiss) and "De frente pro mar" (Beachfront) with the latter becoming popular with [[Estakazero]], a well-established local band, doing a cover of the Cangaia track. Cangaia also took part in João de Jequié, Forró da Margarida, Forró da Onça, and were regular features at Jaguaquara {{Not a typo|Coffe}} and Forró {{Not a typo|Coffe}}, in [[Itiruçu]].
In 2006 the band moved to Bahia's bigger coastline city [[Salvador, Bahia|Salvador]]<ref>[http://www.forroparaomundo.com/2010/06/cangaia-de-jegue-o-forro-autentico-da.html Cangaia de Jegue: O Forró Autêntico da Bahia] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110810052729/http://www.forroparaomundo.com/2010/06/cangaia-de-jegue-o-forro-autentico-da.html |date=2011-08-10 }} (in Portuguese)</ref> for bigger opportunities, releasing their second album ''Você vai ver'' (meaning You will see) following it up with a DVD launched in Jequié first and then in other cities, thus competing with better known bands like Estakazero and Seu Maxixe.
After the success of the song "[[Ai se eu te pego!]]" by [[Michel Teló]], Cangaia de Jegue are enjoying a huge increase in their popularity throughout Brazil<ref name="bn"/><ref>[http://www.correio24horas.com.br/blogs/blog-do-marrom/?p=16125 Correio24Horas: Cangaia de Jegue também comemora o estouro nacional de "Ai se eu te pego!"] (in Portuguese)</ref> as fans check the earlier version<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uIepZ9POfY Music video of Cangaia de Juege's earlier version of "Ai se eu te pego!"]</ref> of the song before Michel Teló's release.
