ALL EVENTS WERE HELD AT CENTENARY SQUARE BIRMINGHAM
Live Audio Description

Forró Tempo are a Birmingham-based band that bring the rhythm, beats, and melodies of Forró, an art form from the Northeast of Brazil.

The traditional musical instruments of Forró are expertly played by the band, with the combination of pandeiro, zabumba, cavaquinho, double bass, and piano accordion providing backing for the songs of the region. 

This band very much represents the Birmingham experience as three members of the band have made their homes here from India, Jamaica, and Ireland, with the fourth member emigrating all the way to Birmingham from the Black Country.
