Editor's note

Lairton's sweet voice from Serrita, Pernambuco

A forró singer whose 1990 hit "Morango do Nordeste" became a regional anthem.

For a quick sense of his sound, try "Morango do Nordeste" from 1990 or "Ainda é Tempo" from later on. Both have that direct, sweet vocal quality he was known for.

Lairton's music never really left the Northeast rhythms he grew up with. Songs like "Só Alegria" and "Cinderela" kept that local sound alive through the 1990s and beyond, even when tastes shifted around him. His band, Zé Américo on accordion, Zé Carlos on zabumba, Joselito on triangle, played the same traditional setup for years.

He started singing as a boy at local festivals in Serrita. Things changed in 1990 when "Morango do Nordeste" caught on and became associated with the region. He kept recording through the 1990s with albums like "Paixão Nordestina" and "Forró do Lairton," then into the 2000s with songs like "Xote das Meninas."

Archive material and source history

Lairton came from Serrita in Pernambuco and started singing as a boy. He had a voice that felt sweet and direct, and he worked at local festivals before things changed in 1990. That year he put out a song called "Morango do Nordeste," which caught on quickly and became associated with the region.

He kept recording through the 1990s, making albums like "Paixão Nordestina" in 1992 and "Forró do Lairton" in 1994. His band usually included Zé Américo on accordion, Zé Carlos on zabumba, and Joselito on triangle, playing the rhythms of the Northeast. Some of his other songs people remember are "Cinderela," "Rédeas do Possante," and "Só Alegria."

Lairton's music stayed close to where he was from, and while not everyone agreed about how he presented it, he kept singing about that place. He made records into the 2000s, like "Xote das Meninas" in 2000, and songs such as "Ainda é Tempo" and "Paixão Desenganada" stayed in circulation.
