Background notes
Archive material and source history
Forró do Povo formed in Fortaleza, Ceará in the early 1990s, when three friends, Zé Maria, Luisinho do Acordeon, and Jairo do Forró, started playing traditional forró music together. Their name translates to "Forró of the People," which reflected their approach to the genre. They built a local following playing at gatherings and festivals around the Northeast.
Their 1996 debut album "Ao Vivo em Fortaleza" helped them reach a national audience. The song "Anunciação" became one of their better-known tracks, though it was briefly caught up in plagiarism allegations in 2006 that were later dismissed. They kept playing forró in a style that felt connected to the region where it started.
