Editor's note

As Meninas brought women's voices to forró.

A Brazilian trio from Fortaleza that made forró rhythms feel like a party.

If you want their essence, put on 'Dançando Largado' or 'Talquinho'. That's the sound they built a career on, uncomplicated, catchy, and made for dancing.

They arrived in 1993 with 'Xibom Bombom' and gave the mostly male forró scene a new sound. Songs like 'Com Carinho' and 'Dançando Largado' became radio staples because they kept the melodies simple and the rhythms danceable. Their presence as an all-female group shifted the conversation in a genre that hadn't always made room for women.

They started as three singers from Fortaleza and put out their debut the same year they formed. By the mid-90s, albums like 'Bem do Jeito Que Eu Gosto' solidified their place, and the band grew to include a full backing lineup. They kept recording into the 2000s, letting in a little pop and axé without leaving forró behind.

Archive material and source history

As Meninas formed in Fortaleza in 1993 with singers Nilza Maria, Ana Lúcia, and Ivoneide Bento. Their debut album "Xibom Bombom" came out that same year and found a national audience. They were an all-female group in a forró scene that had been mostly male, which drew some attention at the time.

Their music is built around forró rhythms, with songs like "Nada nos Faltará," "Bum Bum Bom," and "Dançando Largado" becoming staples. Over the 1990s they released albums regularly, including "Bem do Jeito Que Eu Gosto" in 1994 and "Tá Virando Paixão" in 1995. The group's lineup eventually expanded to include instrumentalists Gilvan Santos on accordion, Zé Renato on bass, and Beto Show on drums alongside the three original vocalists.

They kept recording into the early 2000s with albums like "As Meninas do Forró" in 2002. Their sound sometimes incorporated touches of pop and axé, but stayed grounded in forró. Songs like "Com Carinho" and "Talquinho" show their knack for straightforward, danceable melodies that worked on radio and at parties.
