Brazil's "Nordeste" region has its own cultural identity and is probably the most exciting area of the country. The most popular entertainment in the Nordeste is the joyful and informal dances people go to at week's end and on agricultural and religious holidays. These popular folk dances have become a kind of cult for dance aficionados and are named forro.
