== Summary ==

Mestrinho is a Brazilian accordionist, singer and arranger whose work connects [[Traditional Forró]], instrumental music and broader Brazilian popular song. His collaboration with [[João Gomes]] and [[Jota.pê]] on ''Dominguinho'' brought that musicianship to a wider audience.<ref name="fr-mestrinho">[https://www.metropoles.com/entretenimento/musica/entrevista-mestrinho-vive-nova-fase-da-carreira-com-album-dominguinho Mestrinho interview: Dominguinho and accordion inheritance (2025)].</ref>

== Life and career ==

Mestrinho describes [[Dominguinhos]] and [[Luiz Gonzaga]] as central musical references. In his account of ''Dominguinho'', the project began through an invitation from [[João Gomes]] and developed as an intimate musical encounter. His role involved both instrumental playing and the ability to shape arrangements around the singers.<ref name="fr-mestrinho" />

== Music and style ==

The accordion can carry melody, harmony, rhythmic punctuation and responses to the voice. Mestrinho's work demonstrates how that flexibility permits both continuity with forró and conversation with other styles. [[Jota.pê]] recalls him finding the harmony for unfamiliar songs during the session, an example of arranging knowledge operating in real time.<ref name="fr-jota">[https://www.brasildefato.com.br/2025/05/24/dominguinho-surgiu-de-role-entre-amigos-conta-jota-pe-sobre-album-com-joao-gomes-e-mestrinho/ Jota.pê interview with Brasil de Fato, 24 May 2025].</ref>
