Companhia do Calypso is a Brazilian band in the calypso music style. It was founded in 2002 by Mylla Karvalho, Lenne Bandeira, and Charles Cill. Their first CD was recorded by Som Livre, a Brazilian recording company. Initially, the band consisted of Mylla Karvalho, Lenne Bandeira, and Charles Cill, who together recorded the group’s first CD. Later, Charles left the band, making way for Ricardinho, who joined and recorded two CDs and one DVD with the group before switching places with Charles again. In 2007, Lenne left the band, leaving them without a lead singer. After some searching, they selected Simara Pires, who had previously been a forró singer. Around the same time, Allan Clistenes also joined, bringing the total to four vocalists. This lineup recorded another album and DVD. In 2008, Mylla left the band and was replaced by Rose Sales, but not for long - Rose also left in mid-2008. The band is well known for its creativity in live performances: in their first DVD, Mylla Karvalho entered the stage by bungee jumping; in the second, she arrived using an elevator-like apparatus while wearing a phoenix costume. The group is managed by Premier Produções, a Brazilian company. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Companhia+do+Calypso">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
