Forró Beat

Our favourite Brazillian dance merchants are back, get ready for a super fun night of dancing & drinking with friends.

An evening of fun, happy & supremely danceable Brazillian folk music awaits for Liverpool’s wonderful trio Forró Beat.

Forró is a genre of Brazilian music that originated in North-eastern Brazil. It encompasses various dance styles and a number of different music beats.

There are three rhythms of forró: xote (a slower-paced rhythm), baião (the original forró) and arrasta-pé (the fastest of the three). Forró is danced in pairs, usually very close together.

Forró, referring to the music and not the dance, encompasses today various musical styles. The musical style, which is at the origin of, and from which have grown out most musical styles today denoted as Forró, is the Forró of Luiz Gonzaga. This musical style, commonly called also Forró Pé-de-Serra, is played by a trio combination of an accordion, a triangle and a and a zabumba (bass drum).
