The original lineup was composed of Almir Guineto, Jorge Aragão, Sombrinha (cavaquinho/violão), Neoci (the son of João da Baiana), Sereno (tan-tan), Ubirany (repique-de-mão) and Bira Presidente (pandeiro).
Soon after the first record, Almir Guineto and Jorge Aragão left the group to follow solo career, being replaced by Arlindo Cruz and Cléber Augusto. The lineup with Arlindo Cruz and Sombrinha as the lead voices and songwriters (although all integrants sing and compose) is considered the fundamental formation of the Group. It lasted until 1993.
Around then Arlindo Cruz and Sombrinha left the group, being replaced by Mário Sérgio (from São Paulo) and Ronaldinho, which take part in the contemporary formation.
Fundo de Quintal introduced the new instruments tan-tan, banjo (samba) and repique de mão, which gave samba a new clothing and a breath of fresh air. They also pushed samba harmonically through the use of some unusual chords. They are considered by many to be one of the most important movements of Brazilian music.

Doce Refúgio / Caciqueando
Grupo Fundo De Quintal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Vamos orar é a oração da tamarineiras (eu sou de lá hein)
Lá o samba é alta bandeira (é alta bandeira)
E até as tamarineiras são da poesia guardiãs (eu sou de lá meu presidente)
Lá o samba é alta bandeira (sim é alta bandeira)
E até as tamarineiras são da poesia guardiãs
Seus compositores aqueles Que deixam na gente aquela emoção
Seus ritmistas vão fundo
Tocando bem fundo em qualquer coração
É uma festa brilhante Um lindo brilhante mais fácil de achar
É perto de tudo, é ali no subúrbio
Um doce refúgio pra quem quer cantar
É o Cacique
Sim é o Cacique de Ramos (grande Cacique)
Planta onde em todos os ramos cantam os passarinhos nas manhãs
Lá o samba é alta bandeira
E até as tamarineiras são da poesia guardiãs
Lá o samba é alta bandeira
E até as tamarineiras são da poesia guardiãs
Ei, ei, ei
Olha meu amor
Olha meu amor esquece a dor da vida
Deixe o desamor caciqueando na avenida
Nesse ano eu não vou marcar bobeira
Vou caciquear só vou parar na quarta-feira
Vou caciquear só vou parar na quarta-feira
Na onda do cacique eu vou
Pois caciqueano eu sou
Na onda do cacique eu vou
Porque caciqueano eu sou
Olha meu amor
Olha meu amor esquece a dor da vida
Deixe o desamor caciqueando na avenida
Nesse ano eu não vou marcar bobeira
Vou caciquear só vou parar na quarta-feira
Vou caciquear só vou parar na quarta-feira
Na onda do cacique eu vou
Porque caciqueano eu sou
Na onda do cacique eu vou
Porque caciqueano eu sou
Na onda do cacique eu vou
Porque caciqueano eu sou
Na onda do cacique eu vou
Porque caciqueano eu sou
