With their innovative approach, Mastruz com Leite revolutionized the music of Northeastern Brazil and quickly grew in popularity across the country.

The band is celebrated for their rich discography, which pays homage to the roots of forró while introducing fresh, contemporary sounds. Notable albums and performances often feature a blend of accordion, zabumba, and triangle, alongside electric guitars and bass.

Over the years, various vocalists and musicians have been part of the ensemble, contributing to the dynamic and evolving sound the band is known for. Their recent works such as "São João no Forrobodó" and the series "Canta Rita de Cássia" continue to celebrate and perpetuate the vibrant spirit of forró music. With a loyal fan base and a lasting impact on the Brazilian music scene, Mastruz com Leite remains a beloved institution in the genre they helped define.
