Conjunto Big Brasa emerged in 1967 in Messejana, Fortaleza, during Brazil's vibrant Jovem Guarda era. Founded by João Ribeiro da Silva Neto, the group quickly became a regional sensation, blending the energetic rhythms of iê-iê-iê with modern samba and bossa nova influences. Their dynamic performances on popular TV shows like "Show do Mercantil" and "Studio 2" solidified their status in the northeastern music scene. Beyond television, Big Brasa captivated audiences across Ceará and neighboring states, leaving an indelible mark on Brazil's musical landscape.
