Trio Virgulino is a celebrated forró band hailing from Brazil, a country with a rich tapestry of musical genres. Formed in 1980, the group has dedicated over four decades to the performance, promotion, and preservation of forró—a festive, dance-oriented music style with roots in the Northeastern region of Brazil. The band's name pays homage to the legendary bandit Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, better known as Lampião, a figure deeply woven into the cultural fabric of the Northeast. Comprising Enok Virgulino (accordion), Adelmo Nascimento (triangle), and Roberto Pinheiro (zabumba), Trio Virgulino's chemistry and shared passion for forró have made them one of the genre's most respected ambassadors.

Over the years, Trio Virgulino has released a number of albums and tracks that showcase the spirited essence of forró. Their discography boasts energetic titles such as "Show de Cores" and "Eu Tô Que Tô," which capture the vividness and dynamism of Brazilian festivity. Through their live album "Trio Virgulino no Estúdio Showlivre (Ao Vivo)," the group brings the exuberance of their live performances into the homes of fans, emphasizing the impromptu excitement that characterizes live forró music. Tracks like "Quem Ama Perdoa (Ao Vivo)" and "Isso Aqui Tá Bom Demais" illustrate the group’s ability to blend traditional beats with a contemporary sound, inviting both new and lifelong fans to the dance floor. With a commitment to musical excellence and cultural representation, Trio Virgulino has earned a cherished place in the hearts of forró lovers across Brazil and beyond.
