We're excited to announce the next band playing live forró in Nijmegen! Coming from Lisbon, Forró de Rabeca brings authentic forró, as it originated from its Brazilian roots: played with the Rabeca - the first melodic instrument used to create the rhythm in Northeastern Brazil.
The group has performed at festivals and forró parties all over Portugal and Europe, and we're so happy we get to experience their unique sound right here in Nijmegen.

✨About forró
Forró is both a music style and a dance style that originated in the Northeastern region of Brazil. Like Samba, it has European and African influences. Forró is characterized by its upbeat rhythms, close contact between dance partners, unique steps with lively and dynamic movements in the dance.
You don't need to be familiar with forró in order to enjoy the show - the band brings amazing musical energy!
✨Forró in Nijmegen
A community of 'forrozeiros' is forming in Nijmegen as well, and we're very excited to spread our passion for forró through these events! If you'd like to learn more, feel free to get in touch with us. ✨
