Editor's note

Zaíra's upbeat forró from Fortaleza

A trio from Fortaleza who built a following with traditional Brazilian rhythms before their 2016 single "Tome Forró" broke out.

For their sound, start with "Tome Forró." For their later energy, try "Coco Sincopado."

They matter because they represent a specific, regional sound that found a national audience. "Tome Forró" was the song that did it, mixing forró and sertanejo in a way that clicked. Tracks like "Coco Sincopado" and "Joga a Chave" show they stuck with that danceable, upbeat formula.

They started playing together at a community center in Fortaleza. After "Tome Forró" took off in 2016, they released albums like "Destemida" and kept recording songs in the same vein. They faced plagiarism allegations in 2018 that were later dismissed, and have kept performing since.

Zaíra formed in Fortaleza when three friends from the city, Robson Souza, Roni Barbosa, and Diego Farias, started playing together at a community center. They built a local following with traditional Brazilian music before their 2016 single "Tome Forró" became a breakout hit across Brazil. The song's mix of forró and sertanejo rhythms gave the band wider recognition.

Their debut album "Destemida" followed that success, and later releases like "Forró do Coração" and "Canta Forró" continued in a similar vein. Songs such as "Joga a Chave," "Coco Sincopado," and "Baião de Respeito" show their focus on upbeat, danceable forró arrangements. Souza handles vocals and guitar, Barbosa plays accordion, and Farias provides percussion.

In 2018, Zaíra faced plagiarism allegations over a melody in one of their songs, though the claims were eventually dismissed. The band has kept performing and recording since, with tracks like "$$$ Dinheiro," "Sexo," and "Forró na Pedreira" appearing in their setlists.
