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.
The 1960s were tumultuous political times in Brazil. Worsening economic problems and weak political leadership led to thearmed forces seizing power in 1964. 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. An enormous amount of music was created and combinedwith jazz, classical, rock, and other forms. This musical melting pot of artists and genres embraced virtually anything andeverything from Brazil and beyond. It made possible numerous collaborative opportunities between Brazilian artists and theirinternational peers. Even samba found a new audience outside of the Carnaval. More modern harmonies and electric instrumentsbrought it into nightclubs to be enjoyed by a new, younger audience.
