You can expect DJ performances, lots of good music, dance workshops, amazing vibes and a super friendly atmosphere. Forró Vinyl is the brain child of @DJ Sampa, DJ, researcher, collector and Brazilian music lover. The aim of this project is to promote Brazilian culture through the beautiful sounds of vinyl records. About forró: Forró music, which is original from the early twentieth century, is unique, joyful, engaging, always carrying a message in its melody, a poem in its verses or a simple lament in its protest.“You are entering a world of musical, visual, dance and fun-filled cultural landscape. This is the Forró Vinyl Project."
