A percussion-driven, theatre-originated musical group from Arcoverde, Pernambuco. Their eponymous debut (2001) — produced by Naná Vasconcelos — mixes recitative vocal delivery by Lirinha with traditional Afro-Brazilian percussion. The review praises the group's energy, cultural depth and acoustic arrangements.

For:Listeners of Northeastern Brazilian folk, fans of percussion-driven and theatre-influenced music, world-music audiences.

 The cowbell worn by a skinny cow with an uncertain gait and the song of the "vaqueiro"* pierces the silence, exorcizes hunger, and calls for rain.
