Forrózin no ar: Recent Episodes
Forrózin no ar
Since everyone wants to hear the band we need to have a PA to amplify their sound and their the tricky part kicks in. From this part on you need technology most of us do not use in their day to day life. So you can either hire a sound professional and the equipment or you try to do the cheap way and buy little by little your own equipment and understand what is going on.
We invited the musician and sound engineer Rodrigo Ramalho from Conterrâneos / Raiz do Sana to our program to discuss the perfect Forró Sound.
I need to admit it gets a bit nerdy but I still hope some of you will enjoy this program.
In our first program recorded with two studios we have Eder Fernandes - vocalist and triangle player of Trio Alvorada - in our Berlin Studio provided by Vitor Reis. We talk about their current World-Tour and the history of Trio Alvorada.
Rafael Baere expressed his concerns about the program being stopped. He did not just encouraged us to continue but even sent us an interview he conducted with Marilia Cervi about teaching Forró in Europe.
The last years have seen Forró groups popping up in every corner of Europe. People from all over the place want to learn Forró and be part of the community. A crucial role in this process falls to the teachers who are mostly the first contact beginners have with Forró in Europe. Quite often the teachers are experienced dancers who are pushed to share a little bit of their knowledge and learn how to teach by themselves.
The Encontro pedagógico participativo de forró tries to bring these teachers together and create a space for exchange where experiences can be shared, questions discussed and new approaches developed. Today we are talking to Sarah Colligns, one of two creators of this concept about the two meetings which happened in August 2017 an March 2018.
You will have the chance to listen to Fabiano Santana, Everton Coroné, Trio Xamego and Mariana Mello. In the second hour we played the full concert of Nando Nogueira which is unfortunately not available online.
Tonight we are going ot have a special edition of Forrózin no ar. We are talking at Italia Roots 2017 to Daniel Marinho, Yse Góes, Cacai Nunes, Rovena Moura, Marcus Detetive Waldemar, Waf DE and listen to new compositions of Fabiano Santana, Chiquinho Alves, Everton Coroné Romão. The second part of the show you will have the opportunity to listen to Mestre Marrom playing with Nando Nogueira. Thanks a lot to Francesca Maiolino for organizing this amazing event!
First we talk to Aline Venturin from Boston, USA about her trip to the Forró London Festival in March. Her group wants to organize the first dance festival dedicated to Forró in the US and went to London in search of inspiration.
In the second part of the program we are connected to Luizinho Calixto a musician specialized on the 8-Bass-Accordion. He introduces the instrument to us and plays some songs for us.
She would really love to help these bands getting in touch with other organizers but faces some difficulties which we discuss in the show.
In the end we talk about the new website of her project Forró Family and a questionaire about "relationships in Forró" she posted recently. Tune in!
This is why we were looking at some tools who are made to facilitate this communication. Our guests in this program are the following:
Gabor Gabriel | Forró Lyrics (App) Nelsimar Bastos Gonçalo | Forró para todos (App) Wellington Figueiredo | ForróBNB
We are probably going to see around 50 Festivals happening next year. What does this mean for Forró-Organizers? What is needed that we are able to avoid stepping on each others feet?
