Product Description

Program notes. The samba will forever haunt my musical landscape. [I lived in Brazil during the early sixties.] Forró, pronounced "faw-HOH," is a type of samba music from the Brazilian northeast - Paraiba, Pernambuco and Bahia. It is music that has its roots in African, Carribean, and European traditions. It is party music. Legend has it that the word, Forró, came from a bastardization of the English, "For all!" As in, "this is a party for all, for everyone!" Traditionally, the forró was played by a trio - accordion, triangle and small bass drum. Nowadays, it is often supplemented by modern instruments - woodwinds, brass, keyboards, electric guitar, bass and trap drums.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
