Teachers

Aleksei Articulado Kirillov (St. Petersburg)

Sou de Sao Petersburgo, Russia. Sou professor de forró aqui. Sou organizador de Russian Forró Festival FORROARU. É o maior evento de forró na Russia. Ja foram cinco vezes. Eu comecei estudar o forro no ano 2007. Para me a musica foi primeira. Eu pratiquei a capoeira aqui. Uma vez eu ouvi a musica de forró e gostei demais. Eu nao sabia o que existe dança tmb. Sou depois duaz mezes uma brasileira mostrou para me passos basicos. Ela foi estudante na Univercidade em Sao Petersburgo. Nessa epoca ninguem nao sabia dançar o forró e eu comecei a estudar. No ano 2008 eu fui na primeira vez no Brasil. No fevereiro 2009 eu comecei dar aulas de forró. Eu fui primeiro forrozeiro da Russia.. E agora Sao Petersburgo ja tem o maior comunidade de forró na Russia.

Rafael Wilker

Rafael Wilker started dancing in 2011. Specializing in Forró, over the past 8 years he has also been learning Samba, Bolero, Zouk, WCS and Bachata in order to add new techniques and enrich his dance. In 2012, he started teaching at Pé Descalço Eldorado, one of the largest Forró schools in Brazil. Rafael brings to his Forró classes a variety of techniques that focus on teaching movement variations with and without a partner, fluency, precision of movement, dance figures, movements that explore dynamism, incorporating the senses, musicality and improvisation. Rafael has given workshops in various cities and states in Brazil and at festivals in Japan, Russia and many European countries.

Getúlio Ramalho & Charlotte Brohmeyer

Getúlio Ramalho began his artistic career in 2000, in Belo Horizonte-MG. He studied contemporary dance and circus throughout his career. He is known for his outgoing and sensual style of dance, always prioritizing the communication between partners and not the combination of steps. Currently, he works as a dance teacher in Brazil and abroad.

Charlotte Brohmeyer is thrilled by movement. She works as a dancer and choreographer and teaches Contemporary Dance, Contact Improvisation, Pilates and Forró. She experienced Forró as a very refreshing and creative dance style. In addition to enjoying the movement and the music itself, she puts focus on the technique and precision in her lessons.

Felipe Garcia Abreu

This guy travels the world to convey his beautiful dance style, which he learned in Brazil, Bahia. Now he gives some workshops at the festival and lets us share his great experience. So let us experience these side of Forró.

Valmir Coelho & Bruna Almedia

Musicians

Cainâ Araújo + Band

Cainã Araújo the talent of the northeastern forró. Singer, composer and poet, that’s how we can define Cainã Araújo. He began playing accordion at the age of nine. At 14 he also played professionally. In 2015 he started his solo career. 2018 the success recognized - With the release of the CD “Coração Matuto” Cainã conquered the public opinion and his songs played in the radio stations of the city.

Defending the culture of the traditional forró Cainã left, in 2018, for a new chapter in his repertoire. After participating in a contest in the city of Itaúnas - Espírito Santo, he was invited to show his trajectory outside Brazil. And it was with heart and soul that he went to Europe, where he now resides, and has presented his new authorial work entitled Estrada do Meu Peito (2019).

In Europe he has played in several festivals such as Forró London (England), Ai que Bom Festival (Paris), Tome Forró (Germany) and Forró Roma (Italy). In addition, he played in France, Switzerland, Belgium, Russia, Czech Republic and Poland.

And as he likes to say: Viva o forró, meu povo!!! Long Live Forró!

Forroxodó (Hamburg)

Forroxodó was founded 2014 in Hamburg by Brazilian and French musicians togehter with lead-singer Ivoneide Targino, from Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte. Animated by their passion for music from the north-east, and their desire to interpret, re-arrange or compose forró music in a mostly traditional style, the 5-piece group has regularly brought energetic forró at Hamburg downtown Cascadas Club and at the festivals (Altonale Festival, Circus Festival). Sanfoneiro Vincent Mermillod (fr.), Percussionist and cavaquinho player Remy de Souza Santos (br.,fr.), guitarist Mo Jonas (br.), and Zabumbeiro Fernando Moreira (br.) complete the quintet. Forroxodó invites you all to join for exciting forrós, poetic xotes and lively cocos and xaxados!

Mistura Fina

The band, featuring Valdir Jovenal (singer), Fabiano Lima (zabunda), Charles William (acordeon), and Leozinho (triangolo) will rock the beautiful Tangoloft Berlin on Friday evening (25.10). They play lovely Forró with the styles of Xanxado, Baião, Xote and Ritmos do Nordeste. Both the band and the venue have been real Berlin institutions for a long time! And please note, it could be the last time for dancing Forró at Tangoloft Berlin, if you have heard the current debate! So let us support them and experience this side of Forró.
