History:

Founded in 2002 in the city of Campinas, Trio Dona Zefa soon started to spend little time at home, when in 2005 they won the biggest forró festival in the world, FENFIT, held every year in the city of Itaúnas/ES. After winning, the trio's first album was released, entitled "Forró Do Talarico", the name of the song composed by the group's singer, Danilo Ramalho. Since then, the trio has toured several Brazilian states, toured Europe, released four more CDs, a DVD celebrating 10 years on the road, two LPs, sang along with renowned artists such as Dominguinhos, Genival Lacerda, Elke Maravilha, and Mestre Zinho. They have taken to some of the most stages and festivals around the world. Even with so much success, with each passing year new conquests are made, and the respect and love for forró remain intact from the beginning.

International presentations and special appearances:

The trio has already performed in more than 10 European countries and also in Palestine. Among the participation of artists with the group, it is essential to mention:
