A kind of very popular music in Minas Gerais MG Brazil. It started as a joke on 1970 and recorded at once ( in just one take ) without any previous rehearsal, became a top hit in the Steel Valley Governador Valadares.

Forro Dos Cumpadre is a humorous music and very odd compared with the other kind of Forró in Brazil. It is played with two acoustic guitars instead of accordion, zabumba and a metal triangle and talks about nonsense things imitating animals in a hilarious way. A very funny music based on the culture of region. The authors of this brazilian music: Nelio Guerson and Carlos Guerson members of The Fire Boys, band from Governador Valadares Minas Gerais Brazil, have been covered by Newspapers, Radios Stations and TV Stations
