Beleza de baile, the latest album by Trio Dona Zefa, is a captivating collection of traditional Brazilian dance music. The album features 12 tracks that showcase the group's exceptional musicianship and infectious energy.
The trio, consisting of vocalist Adriana Silva, accordionist Léo Rodrigues, and percussionist Marcelo Pretto, seamlessly blends elements of forró, samba, and other regional styles to create a sound that is both familiar and fresh.
Standout tracks include "Xote das meninas," a lively forró number that will have listeners tapping their feet, and "Samba do avião," a classic tune by Brazilian legend Tom Jobim that receives a playful, upbeat treatment.
Silva's vocals are a highlight throughout the album, conveying both joy and longing with equal skill. Rodrigues' accordion playing is also impressive, adding melodic and rhythmic depth to the songs.
