This is the true flavor of Northeastern Brazil which is invading the clubs. The accordion cries and the zabumba (Bass drum) sounds an order for no one to sit still. A charming madame directly from Ceará, Brazil, the heart of forró, sings while skillful sidemen play harmony and percussion. Forró da Madame will "set the room on fire"! Let’s go forró!
