Past 1970, it is rare that to find mixed-gender forró groups. However, there were a few combos in the 1950s and 1960s, like Trio Marabá and Marinés e Süa Gente, that performed baioes (sometimes spelled baiãos) and forró. Trio Marabá harkened back to the group sound of the 1930s and 1940s. Trio Mossoró probably modeled themselves off of the more modern Marinés e Süa Gente, although Trio Mossoró featured male and female vocals and Marinés was the only singer in her group. This was highly unusual. Trio Mossoró records seem to be particularly desirable, thanks to the reputation of their De Norte a Sul LP.
