A Brazilian trio known for songs like 'Que Nem Jiló' and a sound rooted in northeastern tradition.
For a quick sense of their style, try 'Que Nem Jiló' or 'Forró Dos Infernos S.A.', both have that driving, danceable feel they're known for.
They started as Trio Pé de Serra in the late 1990s, then renamed themselves after the bandit Lampião in 2002. Their first album, 'Forró do Trio Virgulino,' included hits like 'Preciso do seu Sorriso.' Songs like 'Que Nem Jiló' kept their forró rhythms alive through lineup changes and controversies.
The group formed in Campina Grande with Flávio José on accordion, Luiz Gonzaga on triangle, and Beto Hortis on zabumba. They changed their name in 2002 and released their debut album that same year. Luiz Gonzaga died in 2016, but the trio's recordings continue to circulate.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
