Soon in 2006 came the "Bonde da Stronda", making success in throughout Brazil and being recognized by the media thus bringing the emergence of several other groups.
Outside of Rio de Janeiro there are also stronda music groups, D'Boss is the best known of them because it was the first non-Rio to sing at an event of Stronda music in Rio, D'Boss is from Brasilia. In Minas Gerais has the Divissão dos Playssons which is the first group in the state and each passing day is gaining ground. There is also a group of Bahia that is emerging, known as BS Love.
