Forró is a music style from Brazil´s Northeast. We can use this term for a whole family of related rhythms: Baião, Forró, Xaxado, Xote and Arrasta pé. Arrasta pé ("Drag your foot“) received its name due to the peculiar dancing movement: the soles of the feet drag over the floor with each dance step. Arrasta pé and Baião formed the guideline for the emergence of the Lambada, which also took over the typical dance style. Xote is a slower rhythm with a very special swing, inspired by Polka and Mazurka. Forró is not only this rhythm family, but also the dance style as well as the festivity at which its music is played and danced. Let's go to the Forró! 💚 🏜️ 🟡 Who is @arthusfochi ?
