Forro Brazuca Tickets

Forro Brazuca is a traditional Brazilian forró performer founded in 2007 in San Francisco by four Brazilian musicians: Mestre Francelino (accordion/vocals), Carlos Oliveira (bass/vocals), Carlos Baiano (triangle/vocals), and Chris Carioca (drums/vocals). The group brings the energetic, accordion-led dance style of forró—encompassing xote, baião, and rastapé—to stages across the Bay Area and beyond. Drawing inspiration from icons like Luiz Gonzaga, Jackson do Pandeiro, Trio Virgulino, and Dominguinhos, Forro Brazuca delivers a roots-forward experience with rhythmic drive and melodic warmth.

Whether you're new to forró or a longtime fan, Forro Brazuca offers a window into the traditional sounds that have shaped Brazilian regional music, performed with a modern arrangement that keeps dance floors alive. The ensemble's live appearances at venues such as Red Poppy Art House in San Francisco and appearances on Stanford's Summer Jazz Series in 2011 reflect their role in the Bay Area world music scene.

While detailed discography for Forro Brazuca is not widely documented in public releases, the group remains a notable fixture in archival coverage and live-performance history for Brazilian folk and forró enthusiasts.
