Collection: Forro

Forró is a vibrant and diverse genre of Brazilian music that originated in the country's northeastern region. With its infectious rhythms and lively melodies, forró encompasses a wide range of subgenres and regional styles, from the youthful energy of Sertanejo Universitário to the romantic tones of Brega Romântico. The genre's versatility is evident in its fusion with electronic elements in Música Eletrônica Brasileira and its incorporation of ska influences in Brazilian Ska. Forró's rich tapestry includes regional variations like Música Alagoana, Música Sergipana, and Música Cearense, each contributing unique flavors to the overall sound. Traditional instruments such as the sanfona (accordion) and bandolim (mandolin) play a crucial role in forró's distinctive sound, while contemporary subgenres like Piseiro and Arrochadeira continue to push the boundaries of the genre. From the favelas to the Amazon, forró's influence can be heard across Brazil, making it a truly national musical phenomenon that celebrates the country's cultural diversity.
