Umbanda is a religion in Brazil that incorporates African, Roman Catholicism, Spiritualism and Native American (likely South American) beliefs. Some Brazilians call Sussú's records Voodoo. Voodoo is another syncretic religion that comes in multiple varieties. I am not an expert on Umbanda or Voodoo, so I can't speak to Sussú's beliefs specifically. I can say that Sussú's music, like his religion, is a combination of musics. Sussú does not play forró or samba specifically, but may incorporate the rhythms and melodies of both.
