Forro in the Dark is a dynamic, percussion-driven world music project born in New York City. Formed in 2002 by Mauro Refosco, Guilherme Monteiro, and Jorge Continentino, the group forged its sound through a residency at Nublu that helped propel their career onto international stages. Their music blends traditional Brazilian forró with rock, jazz, reggae, psychedelia, and folk, creating a danceable, cinematic sonic landscape. The band’s collaborative spirit has connected them with notable artists and projects, from David Byrne to John Zorn, and even ties to Thom Yorke’s Atoms for Peace through band members.
