About Forro In dark

For those who don’t already know, forró is the hip-swiveling, dancefloor-filling, rural party music of Brazil’s northeastern states. And Forró in the Dark is the collective of four New York-based Brazilian ex-pats –Mauro Refosco (zabumba drum and vocals) Davi Vieira (percussion and vocals) Guilherme Monteiro (guitar and vocals) and Jorge Continentino (pifano flute, sax and vocals) - who are updating this traditional sound for the 21st century.

“In Brazil, forró literally means party,” says Mauro. “It’s a gathering, a good time. The objective is to make people dance.” Which is exactly what Forro In The Dark have been doing since 2005 at their weekly residence at East Village nightspot Nublu, where their signature blend of down home forró and urban cool have made them one of the city’s must-see buzz bands.

Ruy Penalva - CD Autoral - Breve	Oct 9 2009 12:41 AM Se É Pau Como Amolece? O pau amolecia mas não devia Se pau fosse Mas tem dia que ele é pau Tem dia que ele é doce Na boca o doce amolece O pau na boca só cresce Mas com toda malemolência Tem boca que quer clemência E após lhe bater continência Opta por desistência Embora isso sugira abandono Pau não pertence ao dono Embora pareça uma zona Pau só pertence a Dona Por maior que seja o chilique Que leva esse pau a pique É tudo bem natural Pois é pique, pica e pau...
