O Bacurizinho formed in the early 2000s in Bacuri, Maranhão, starting as a group of friends playing music together. The band includes vocalist Zé de Recife and accordionist Edilson Show, along with João do Bandolim on mandolin, Neto do Cavaquinho on cavaquinho, and Neguinho do Pandeiro on percussion.
Their song "O Vanerão Do Bacuri" became popular in 2007, gaining attention across Brazil. The track blends traditional Brazilian rhythms with contemporary pop elements, which drew both appreciation and some criticism from listeners who preferred more conventional folk styles.
They released albums like "Axé do Bacuri" in 2009, "Arrasta Pé do Bacuri" in 2011, and "Baile do Bacuri" in 2014. These recordings continued their approach of mixing different musical influences into their sound.
