Forró de Rabeca has a unique proposal, which is to present authentic FORRÓ, as it originated from its roots played with the accompaniment of Rabeca, the first melodic instrument used to create the rhythm in northeastern Brazil. The group is based in Lisbon.
The RABECA is a bow instrument, precursor of the violin, it is believed to be of Arab origin, in North Africa, from where it was taken to Europe, there are reports of its use from the Medieval times.
From Europe, it went to Brazil, where it started to be played in popular and religious manifestations since the remote times of Brazilian colonization.
While in Europe the instrument was modernized and modified until it was called VIOLIN around the beginning of the 19th century, in Brazil it keeps its characteristic shape and sound, but with changes in the way of construction, tuning and touch depending on the region.
The main regions of Brazil where the instrument is developed are in the Northeast and South of the country.
In the Northeast, the RABECA was the first melodic instrument used to play baião and forró, rhythms that would become very popular throughout Brazil, in addition to being important elements for the identity of northeastern and Brazilian culture.
