Foleada – Creoxote
Jack Straw resident artists Foleada released their new album of Brazilian Forró music, Eu Vou Pra Lua, this summer. Forró, a cultural mainstay of Northeast Brazil, describes not just a musical genre but a way of life, a celebration of dance, love, and community. On Eu Vou Pra Lua – Portuguese for “I’m Going to the Moon” – Foleada gives Forró a contemporary Northwest spin, exploring the music’s soulful rhythmic tradition with four originals and four standards.
