Forró is a supergenre of music originating from the Northeast of Brazil. Baião, xote, xaxado, arrasta-pé, coco, toada, and the very forró itself are the rhythms that make it up. Its roots reveal the multimodal expression of the genre, both in rhythmic variations and in the respective ways of dancing. These roots have been officially recognized as Brazilian cultural heritage since 2021. The name forró, in its modern sense, refers not only to the music but also to the dance and the places where this heritage is manifested. Among its forms, the dance is the most common practice in Europe. Dozens of multiethnic communities organize autonomously forró gatherings, where dance serves as the backdrop for the enjoyment of living heritage, the realization of the right to culture, and, above all, the experience of community and social cohesion. In these cases, forró is not only a tool for enjoying the right to freely participate in sociocultural life and access to leisure but also a means to promote other rights, such as the recognition of dignity and the reduction of distinctions between people. In this sense, the thriving forrozeira community in Porto (Portugal) demonstrates how this heritage remains alive in a self-sustaining way, even far from its place of origin.
