Forro
Forró is a type of dance popular in Northeastern Brazil, as well as a type of music which accompanies the dance. Both are much in evidence during the annual Festa Junina (June Festival).
Some artists
Forró bands are often named after a type of food. Mastruz com Leite (cereal and milk) and Noda de Caju (the pit of a caju fruit) are two popular examples of this trend. Brucelose and Baba de Moça are two more bands who, in traditional forró fashion, refer to their own band's name and to the dance of forró in their music.
