Salvador da Bahia prepares for the São João festivities which will include dancing to Forró music.
|
Forró is the danceable music of the Northeast interior.
It's accordion-generated melody and rapid tempo makes it sound like
a cousin of xydeco.
This is the traditional music of Saint John's festivals (São João)
in June, when the music extends from the country to the cities, and
musicians of all genres, like Ivete Sangalo or Gilberto Gil, come
out with Forró albums.

"This is party music. It's party music from people who've been through hard times, who
live in a parched, unforgiving area of Brazil, the Northeast... The people who make and
dance to the music are most often brown. Like their earth. It is the brown sound. Chão."
— David Byrne
