I stumbled onto this documentary about forró today. The interviews and explanations are excellent. If you are looking for an introduction to the rhythmic styles within forró, how the music is played, the history and how it is regarded by contemporary players, this is a great place to start. English speaking gringos are fortunate as well. The subtitles are fabulous. Check out 6:25 for a demonstration of the various beats in forró music.
