Trio Elétrico is the name for a truck equipped with a high power sound system and a music group on top of it, playing for the crowd. This setup is used in Brazilian Carnival inside the blocos carnavalescos and other many festivals in Brazil, specially at micaretas . The idea was introduced in 1949 on Bahia carnival by the pair Dodô e Osmar (Adolfo Nascimento and Osmar Macedo).

Some Brazilian artists had been known singing in a Trio as Elba Ramalho, Daniela Mercury, Ivete Sangalo, Carlinhos Brown (from Timbalada), Asa de Águia and Chiclete com Banana. The popular Brazilian singer Caetano Veloso poetized the Trio Elétrico in the song Atrás do Trio Elétrico só não vai quem já morreu - "The only ones not going behind the Trio Elétrico are those who are already dead".
