Voice of Forró

Born from a shared passion in a London dance studio, the Voice of Forró is a conversation started by two dancers who wanted to capture the heartbeat of their beloved Brazilian dance form. This podcast delves into the rich, syncopated world of Forró, exploring its history from the dusty roads of Brazil's Northeast to its vibrant, international scene. Each episode is an intimate chat, a behind-the-scenes look at the music, the movement, and the community that makes this more than just a hobby. You'll hear from musicians explaining the distinct rhythms of the zabumba, sanfona, and triangle, and from teachers dissecting the subtle, grounded connection between partners. The hosts share stories from festivals, discuss the challenges of keeping a cultural tradition authentic while it evolves abroad, and reflect on the simple joy found in a crowded social dance. It’s a space for curious beginners and seasoned practitioners alike to deepen their understanding. Tune in to this podcast for a genuine, unscripted soundscape of Forró culture, where every conversation feels like pulling up a chair at the local *forró* night, listening to friends talk about the thing they love most.
