Forro in the Dark w/ David Byrne - Asa BrancaUploaded by: nubluvideo Video Description: Forro is a native music of Northern Brazil. Roughly translated it means 'love' and/or 'for all'. The music was brought to us over at Nublu, the Ave. C music hub of the LES, by band leader Mauro Refosco nearly 5 years ago. It was then this traditional folk-styled music of their homeland reached the ears of the New York nightlife. What started as a Brazilian birthday party became a sweat inducing dance party that has lasted almost every week of now 4 years! Now with the launch of Nublu Records, and special appearances from famous musicians including David Byrne, Miho Hatori (of Ciba Matto), and Brazilian songstress Bebel Gilberto, Forro in the Dark is steadily introducing the genre across the globe. This video featuring David Byrne was produced & directed by one of the many great artists we house over at Nublu, Karina Correa. They are currently touring and have national dates coming throughout the next month.

Good job!
Viva Luis Gonzaga! Viva o Brasil!
Forró in Dark, rocks!
rodrigo is correct, this is a traditional song from the sertao that Gonzaga adopted.
quem dera que as coisas boas produzidas aqui se tornassem populares e fossem bem produzidas assim...
só mesmo os estrangeiros pra darem valor ao que nós não damos...
Muito bom!
I just loved it!!!
thank you for keeping forró alive and for divulging it for an international audience. it is amazing how forró´s thematic is so universal - this becomes obvious when it is sang in English. Asa Branca could very well have been written by Dylan of Armstrong or someone like that. It is also revitalizing for forró to be filtered by NYers. It would be interesting a luiz gonzaga songbook all in english.
if you don't have anything good to say, don't make ignorant comments.
Greetings from Brazil. ^^
