問題詳情
A distinct musical and dance style, commonly known as forró, can be found in Brazil’s northeast region. This accordion-drivenmusic is part of the region’s popular dance forms and dates back to the late 19th century, when cowboys would celebrate the endof the dry season. Over time, the specific rhythm attached to this style would inspire a couples’ dance accompanied by accordion,drum, and triangle. The leading pioneer of the style, Luiz Gonzaga, made the first recordings in the mid-1940s. Forró lostmomentum during the bossa nova period of the 1960s, but would gain a new generation of fans in the 1980s. Popular artists suchas Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil recorded modern versions of some of Gonzaga’s most popular tunes.

Life under the military government was restrictive, and artists who spoke out against thegovernment repression found themselves in prison or in exile. As tensions relaxed in the 1970s and Brazil opened up to the world,its music scene embarked on its most prolific era of the 20th century.
