About this Event

Forró is a Brazilian cultural expression that blends music, dance, and social celebration. Originating in the Northeast, it encompasses rhythms like baião, xote, and arrasta-pé, traditionally played by a trio of accordion, zabumba, and triangle. The dance is intimate and rhythmic, built on the basic step dois pra lá, dois pra cá. More than a genre, forró is a community gathering, a party, and a living tradition shaped by African, Indigenous, and European influences. Today it thrives worldwide, carried by dancers, musicians, and cultural enthusiasts.
