FORRÓ
Forró is the popular dance form from Northeastern Brazil where Mestre Irineu was born. In its modern form it is a vigorous dance like a polka but more rhythmic and hip twisting
and it has been remixed into forms that are currently popular in the Brazilian dance club scene. In Fortaleza it is danced mostly in the old-fashioned waltz style.
The key to a successful forró is having a master accordion player and that's exactly what we had with the presence of Guilherme Granjeiro.
There was a grand forró party as one of the festival events but, with Guilherme around, folks broke into dancing many times.
