Trio Nordestino is one of the most iconic and enduring bands in the Brazilian forró music genre. Formed in the state of Bahia in 1958, the group has become synonymous with the authentic sounds of the Northeastern region of Brazil. Originally composed of Lindú (voice and accordion), Cobrinha (triangle), and Coroné (zabumba drum), Trio Nordestino carved its name into the annals of Brazilian music with a distinct style that combines agile accordion melodies, rhythmic triangle, and the deep pulse of the zabumba. Through the years, despite changes in its lineup, the group has maintained its dedication to the traditional sounds of forró, while also incorporating contemporary influences.

Celebrated for their contribution to the popularization of forró music, Trio Nordestino’s career spans over six decades, during which they have released an impressive discography that has resonated with audiences across generations. Their recent releases such as "Acuda Patrão, Acuda" and "O Verdadeiro Trio Nordestino" pay homage to their roots while showcasing their versatility in interpreting songs from other renowned artists, as is the case with "Canta Gilberto Gil." With a blend of nostalgic rhythms and new compositions, Trio Nordestino continues to perform and record music that is deeply connected to the cultural fabric of the Brazilian Northeast, thereby securing their status as beloved custodians of forró tradition. Their live performances, notably captured in "Ao Vivo em Estância," exemplify the group's infectious energy and ability to captivate audiences, sealing their reputation as a cornerstone of regional Brazilian music.
