FORRÓ BRAZUCA: Brazilian Dance Party
October 8, 2011 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
$10 – $15
Forró Brazuca plays traditional northeastern Brazilian forró music like no other group outside Brazil. Thanks to the leadership of accordionist Francelino Alves, this SF-based quartet of Brazilians packs dance floors with their forró, xote, and rastapé grooves. Bassist Carlos Oliveira from Pernambuco, drummer Chris Thomas from Rio de Janeiro, and percussionist/vocalist Paulo Presotto from São Paulo provide the modern and electric backup for Francelino’s traditional, salt-of-the-earth approach. The result is rollicking, romantic, irresistible dance music—the hottest Brazilian dance party available!
