Trio Mossoró is a Brazilian musical group hailing from the northeastern state of Rio Grande do Norte, with a career spanning several decades that has heavily influenced the regional Forró music sphere. The trio, consisting of Sócrates de Farias, Enock de Lima, and Francisco Edivan de Lima, have two brothers and a cousin who share a deep-rooted passion for the traditional rhythms of Brazil's northeast.

Trio Mossoró started their journey in the early 1960s, gaining recognition with their 1962 hit "Rua do Namoro," which encapsulated the heart of the Forró genre's vibrant and danceable tunes. Throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s, they carved out a name for themselves with a string of successful releases, including "Quem Foi Vaqueiro" in 1965. The group's ability to tell stories of rural life, love, and northeastern culture resonated with many, and their 1971 self-titled album further solidified their status in Brazilian music. "Tem Mais Gente" in 1973 and the collection "Quebra Pote 2" in 1974 demonstrated their prolific output and their devotion to the Forró tradition. Songs like "Forró do Velho Inácio" and "Forró do Mexe Mexe" are emblematic of their lively style and the festive spirit their music embodies. With "30 Dias De Forró" and "Terra de Santa Luzia" also gracing their discography, Trio Mossoró has a robust collection of work that pays homage to the soundscapes of northeastern Brazil and stands testament to their enduring legacy in the country's musical narrative.
