Editor's note

Caninana do Forró, a family band from Ceará

A forró group that's kept the same lineup since the 1980s, mixing traditional rhythms with stories from the Northeast.

For a sense of their sound, try "Destino de um vaqueiro" or that 1996 title track. They've always felt like a steady presence in forró.

They've been playing together since 1984, with brothers Chicão and Zé do Forró joined by their cousin and a friend. Songs like "WhatsApp Ou Eu" blend classic forró sounds with lyrics about modern life and love in their region. Their 1996 track "O Futuro Lhe Espera" became a signature hit, even sparking a plagiarism dispute they weathered.

They formed in Juazeiro do Norte and released albums like "Viva o Forró" in 1994. More recently, they've collaborated with younger artists such as João Gomes on "Mais Um Beijo Perdido."

Archive material and source history

Caninana do Forró formed in 1984 in Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará. The group started with brothers Chicão and Zé do Forró, who grew up playing music together, and later added their cousin Dedé do Forró and friend Djalma do Forró. They've kept that lineup for most of their time together, with Chicão on vocals and guitar, Zé on accordion, Dedé on triangle, and Djalma on zabumba.

They put out albums like "Viva o Forró" in 1994 and "O Futuro Lhe Espera" in 1996. That title track became one of their best-known songs, though it also brought some trouble when another artist accused them of stealing the melody in 1999. They denied it and kept going.

Songs like "Foi Por Amor," "A Rainha e o Vaqueiro," and "WhatsApp Ou Eu" show their mix of traditional forró rhythms with lyrics about love and everyday life in the Northeast. More recently they've worked with younger artists like João Gomes on "Mais Um Beijo Perdido."
