Background notes
Archive material and source history
Raiz do Forró formed in 1997 in Campina Grande, Brazil, a group of young musicians drawn to forró's accordion-driven melodies and lively rhythms. They started out playing small venues and local festivals, building a following without much industry support.
Their song 'Me Leva' addressed the exploitation of women in the sex trade, and they often wrote about poverty and inequality. This direct approach to social issues brought them both praise and criticism, with some listeners appreciating the commentary while others found it too political.
They released albums like 'Raiz do Forró' in 2001 and 'Forró em Alta' in 2003, followed by a live recording from their hometown in 2005. Their music found an audience across Brazil, grounded in traditional forró but speaking to contemporary concerns.
