With the resulting good publicity, the group, originally made up of Bidi, Bigode Chiquinho, Lelei, Rubão and Mussum, signed withRCAand recorded their first album,Os Originais do Samba,in 1969.[10]The album was a huge success, boosted by the single"Cadê Tereza?",written byJorge Ben.[9][10]As further evidence of their success, in the first half of the 1970s, they had massive succeses wit "Do lado direito da rua direita" (Luiz Carlos e Chiquinho, 1972), "Esperanças perdidas" (Adeilton Alves e Délcio Carvalho, 1972) and "Tragédia no fundo do mar (Assassinato do camarão)" (Ibrain e Zeré, 1974).[10]They participated at festivals and were certified gold discs for the sales of their recordings, combining their unison singing style, matching clothes and humorous lyrics.[11]

In 1979, Mussum left the group to dedicate himself to his comedy career.[9]In 1980, they recorded a disc( "Mulher, Mulher",with Jorge Ben), a LP in 1981 titledEu me Rendo(Fábio Jr.), and another LP in 1983 titledCanta Meu Povo, Canta.[4]
