Trio Elétrico Dodô e Osmar
Dodô and Osmar, inventors of the trio elétrico, met during a radio show in 1938. Both of them were studying music and electronics, and researching on how to amplify the sound of string instruments. They figured how to do it ten years later, and during the carnival of 1950, they went out on top of a ’49 ford, playing on adapted instruments the songs from the Academia de Frevo de Recife (Recife Frevo Academy), who were in Salvador, at the time. In one year, they perfected the instruments and included a new member, Temístocles Aragão, thus forming the trio elétrico in 1951. In the following year, a soda company noticed the raging success of the trio and offered them an adorned truck, launching the format that resists to this day.
