Background notes
Archive material and source history
Valdemir Barros came up in Picos, Piauí, Brazil, and started playing forró in the late 1980s. He's best known for a song called "Festanejo Curtiçao," which gave its name to a style he helped shape in the early 1990s. That track mixed forró rhythms with pop beats and became something of an anthem.
His approach drew some criticism from traditionalists, but he kept working, putting out albums like Festanejo Curtiçao in 1994 and Curtiçao de Beira a Beira the following year. Other songs in his catalog include "Sozinha Na Multidão" and "Modão contra Assédio."
Barros recorded with musicians like Zezinho de Picos on bass and Marcinho on accordion. He released records steadily through the 1990s and into the 2000s, including O Rei do Festanejo in 1996 and Forró de Valdemir Barros in 2002.
