"In the old Forró music, flutes set the tone, today they have been replaced by the accordion. The musicians of these unpretentious concertina melodies, that swim so calmly in the current of the samba rhythms, come from 'pé de serra' - the 'feet of the mountains' - from the hinterland of the infinitely large, parched Sertão. ... Whoever is still trying to get rid of an accordion allergy from their childhood days, can cure their illness with this recording. Forró works wonders." (taz)
