Trem da Alegria (translated as Train of Happiness) was a Brazilian children's music group active between 1984 and 1992, during which they released eight albums and achieved sales surpassing six million units.
The ensemble began in 1984 with Luciano Nassyn and Patricia Marx, producing the album Clube da Criança in collaboration with Xuxa and Carequinha. Their major success arrived with the release of Carrossel da Esperança, which included the popular track "É de Chocolate". The group's lineup was frequently selected through advertising agencies. In 1985, following the addition of Juninho Bill, they launched their debut album, Trem da Alegria do Clube da Criança, featuring guest appearances by Lucinha Lins and The Fevers. By 1987, Trem da Alegria stood among Brazil's highest-selling acts alongside Xuxa and Jairzinho e Simony.
