Forró

Forró is a lively and rhythmic music genre that hails from the northeastern region of Brazil, deeply rooted in the rural traditions of the area. Characterized by its infectious accordion melodies, zabumba drum beats, and the triangle's bright accents, forró serves as the heartbeat of joyous social gatherings and dance floors. Emerging in the mid-20th century, it was popularized by influential artists like Luiz Gonzaga, who infused the genre with vibrant storytelling and a rich cultural tapestry that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
