Trio Nordestino, formed in 1958 in Salvador, Bahia, stands as a cornerstone of Brazilian forró music. The original lineup—Lindú (vocals and accordion), Coroné (zabumba), and Cobrinha (triangle)—crafted a sound that authentically represents the Northeast's rich musical heritage. Over six decades, the group has released numerous albums, including the acclaimed "Trio Nordestino Canta o Nordeste," which earned a Latin Grammy nomination in 2017. ([dicionariompb.com.br](https://dicionariompb.com.br/grupo/trio-nordestino/?utm_source=openai)) Now led by Luiz Mário (triangle and vocals), Jonas Santana (zabumba and vocals), and Tom Silva (accordion and vocals), Trio Nordestino continues to captivate audiences, preserving and evolving the forró tradition for new generations.
