Forró dos Cumpadre is a song from Minas Gerais, Brazil. It started as a joke in 1970 and was recorded in one take without a rehearsal. It became a hit in the Steel Valley, Governador Valadares.
Forró Dos Cumpadre is a humorous song and odd compared with the other kinds of forró in Brazil. It is played with two acoustic guitars instead of accordion, a zabumba, and a metal triangle, and talks about nonsense things imitating animals. The music is based on the culture of the region.
