The one, and in fact, only album by Bahian Trio, ABAETÉ. Recorded in 1977 this is Super Rare Collection of Jazz-Funk Sambas with a Northern Brazilian Flavour. Mixed by, the esteemed, Waldir Lombardo Pinheiro (TOM ZE, ZECA DO TROMBONE) Abaeté, a vocal trio from Bahia, made a remarkable debut with masterfully crafted jazz-funk sambas, at a time when Bahian musicians were true masters of the genre. There's virtually no information about the band, apart from the music itself, which seems to be limited to two releases: a single and that much-loved 1977 self- titled album, now a cult classic. A collection of killer tunes, funky samba, synthesizer sounds and free rhythms with a North Brazilian flavour. The band also wrote songs for Clara Nunes and Elza Soares in the 70s.
