It seems there are users in RP Station that behave as agitators and destructive; and poor education and lack of respect; frustation repressed? infantis behaviour? Bizarre situations? are a genuine obstacle and nuisance to who frequents the RP Station with interest the positive aspects and seriously; should in future there by the administrator a default filter good habits and customs that avoids this type of abuse.

These situations "gratuitous-pure-exhibitionism" telling should be given warning, and if they are not binding, must be banned.

.....more traditional flavor of forró, Gonzaga is quite good. Regarding the origen of the term 'forró', it is said to be derived from the word 'forrobodó' which means arrasta-pé, farra (a binge, wild party)... and not from the mispronunciation of the expression 'for all'.

Funny... I live in Maceió, the Northeast of Brazil, and I had just turned on Radio Paradise to get away from this kind of music that plays on all the local radio stations, kkk... I had to check my stereo connection to see if something was wrong! But this is pretty good, a more traditional flavor of forró, Gonzaga is quite good.

Uncalled for. Spiteful. And the bus reference is tasteless too. horstman wrote:

I think David Byrne is cool but I haven't really cared for anything he's done since he left the Heads all those years ago.

This is a version of a fairly old brazilian song by Luiz Gonzaga and the rhythm is called "forró". That in its own has a pretty neat story. Forró was born in the parties thrown at or around the American base that was built in the city of Natal, RN (Northeast tip of Brazil and the closest point between America and Africa). The location was strategic to send aid across the Atlantic for the war efforts in Africa. So they had parties that were for military personnel only and parties that were "for all". In the latter they would have a sign at the entrance to the ballroom stating that. "Forró" was born from the mispronunciation by the locals of the "for all" sign. Those parties and the musicians present in them ultimately gave birth to the rhythm that today is the most popular in that area of Brazil.

Ahhhh! Insta' add! It seems to be the only way to get a song added from an upload anymore. Good song. Heard it on KCRWs' "Morning Comes Eclectic" show quite a few times now. It fits in nicely here.
