Forro Band


A Forro (pronounced fo-ha) band. The music is typical in the northeastern region of Brasil. Word on the streets, it's origin dates back to the 1800's when there were hired British men working on the railroads would have parties. They would put up signs advertising the parties. Some parties were either for railroad workers only, some were for all - hence the name Forra meaning "for all" originated.
