Forró is music for dancing! Developed in the Northeast of Brazil, it is characterised by its weaving and insistent rhythms and is one of the most popular forms of music in Brazil. It's name is a derivative of forrobodó, meaning "great party". In other circles the word forró is a derivative of the English expression "for all".
