Camarão

**Camarão** is a vibrant Brazilian band known for keeping the spirit of traditional forró alive while injecting it with fresh energy. Rooted in the rhythms of Northeast Brazil, their music blends classic baião, xote, and arrasta-pé grooves with modern flair, often incorporating elements of jazz, rock, and regional folk influences. Over the years, they’ve become synonymous with celebratory dancefloor anthems like *Forró no Palhoção* and *Bem Te Vi Atrevido*, showcasing their knack for catchy melodies and lively percussion. Their 2021 release *70 Anos Passeando pelos Ritmos* highlights their deep respect for Brazil’s musical legacy, while projects like *The Imaginary Soundtrack to a Brazilian Western Movie 1964-1974* (curated by Analog Africa) nod to their love for retro sounds and cinematic storytelling.

With a career spanning decades, Camarão has evolved into a cultural bridge, connecting generations through music. Their live shows are legendary for their high-energy brass sections, accordion riffs, and collaborations with icons like Siba and Lia de Itamaracá. Whether they’re reviving gems from the 1980s (*A bandinha - 1981*) or dropping new party starters like *Casa de Festejo*, Camarão remains a beloved force in Brazil’s forró scene, proving that tradition and innovation can dance together perfectly.
