Carrapicho was a Brazilian music group, created in the 80's in Manaus, Brazil. Members are natives of the state of Amazonas. Its lead singer has been Zezinho Corrêa. The group has sold a total of more than 15 million records around the world.
== History == Carrapicho was created in 1980 in Manaus. Earlier works were released in the Brazilian style known as forró, and they were known throughout the North of Brazil for it. At the end of 1980s, the Parintins Folklore Festival tunes were commonly in their work, but not leaving forró behind. The group worked regionally for sixteen years, until a French singer, Patrick Bruel, heard their song "Tic, Tic Tac" in 1996 and decided to launch it in his country, France, where it reached the number one spot. It also charted in several European countries, including the top 10 in Belgium and Spain.
