Originally called Gera Samba, they exploded onto the scene with their hit single 'Segura o Tchan'. Their first album, called É o Tchan (1995), sold into triple platinum.
After legal problems, the name of the band changed from Gera Samba to É o Tchan and with this name, they released the album 'Na Cabeça e na Cintura' [In the Head and In the Waist].
The group became popular because of the combination of catchy music and pointless lyrics, with choreography performed by two dancers, a blonde (loira do Tchan) and a brunette (morena do Tchan). Both became big stars and did Playboy covers, with the Carla Perez cover being the bestselling until 1999, when the Tiazinha and Feiticeira issues outsold her. The brunette dancer, Scheila, was also a big star. Both dancers wore little tops and bootie shorts. The male dancer was, and still is, Afro-Brazilian Edson Gomes Cardoso Santos aka Jacaré.
Carla Perez was very popular among kids and teenagers, and so was the group. Many licensed products were released under her image, such as costumes, sticker albums and bootie shirts.
Their 1996 album was the best-selling of the year, selling over 2 million copies in Brazil, and in 1997 they released another huge hit, the album 'É o Tchan do Brasil'. The album sold, again, over 2 million copies and was the best-selling of the year. It was released after the brunette dancer left the group and an audition was made at the highest-rated Sunday show in Brazil, O Domingão do Faustão. Soon after the release, Carla Perez decided to leave the group and start a solo career, and again another audition was made at Domingão do Faustão. The first prize was, aside from becoming a member of the group, the cover of a Playboy Magazine.
Their fourth album, third as É o Tchan, was not as much of a success as the first two, but sold really well, receiving a diamond certification. The CD, after É o Tchan do Brasil [It's the Tchan from Brasil], was called É o Tchan no Havai [It's the Tchan in Hawaii]. Their next album also received diamond certification, É o Tchan na Selva [It's the Tchan in the Jungle] and that was their last album to receive diamond certification.
The lineup has changed three times since then and they have released two other albums and a compilation, in 2000, 2001 and 2003, respectively. The group released, in 2005, a 10 Year's Celebrative DVD which was certificated three times platinum. Morenas and loiras of the group maintain the tradition of posing nude for men's magazines but Revista Sexy has replaced Playboy in their preferences: Silmara Miranda (October 2003), Scheila Carvalho (October 2005), Aline Rosado & Juliane Almeida (February 2006).

É O Tchan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vem moreninha
Vem dançar o forró do Gera
Vem
Bem gostosinho
Morena diga
Onde é que tu 'tava
Onde é que 'tava tu
Passei a noite procurando tu
Procurando tu, procurando tu
Passei a noite procurando tu
Procurando tu, procurando tu
Eu vivo triste, meu amor me beija
Mesmo que não seja beijo de amor
Esse teu beijo sei que me envenena
Mas não tenha pena se ele é matador
Eu quero um beijo de lascar o cano
Pois eu sou baiano
Cabra beijador
Pra você ver
Eu quero um beijo de lascar o cano
Pois eu sou baiano
Cabra beijador
Morena diga
Onde é que tu 'tava
Onde é que tu 'tava
Onde é que 'tava tu
Passei a noite procurando tu
Procurando tu, procurando tu
Passei a noite procurando tu
Procurando tu, procurando tu
Chega pra perto, me dá um arrocho
Que eu já 'to roxo de tato roer
Acende o fogo da minha fogueira
Que a noite inteira eu só faltei morrer
Te procurando, meu amor te dando
E tu me negando, fazendo eu sofrer
Te procurando, meu amor te dando
E tu me negando, fazendo eu sofrer
Vixe Maria

The lyrics of É O Tchan's song Procurando Tú speak about a man who is searching for his love interest, the "morena", throughout the night. He is desperate to find her and is willing to do anything, including asking for a "beijo de lascar o cano" (a passionate kiss) from her. The song is a lively forró dance track that also features playful and flirtatious lyrics.
The first verse of the song sets the tone for the rest of the track, inviting the "moreninha" to dance and marking the start of the search for her. The chorus repeats the phrase "Passei a noite procurando tu" (I spent the night looking for you) multiple times, emphasizing the man's relentless search for his love interest. In the second verse, the lyrics describe the man's desperation to receive his love interest's kiss, even if it is not a true expression of love.
Overall, the song is a fun and upbeat celebration of the forró dance style, featuring catchy melodies and playful lyrics about love and desire.
