Forró do Zé

RAIZ SESSIONS #001

A sunset-to-night Forró experience rooted in Brazilian music, dance and community. 🇧🇷

Forró do Zé is the first RAIZ SESSION — bringing the sounds, movement and spirit of Forró Pé de Serra to the Northside of Brisbane.

Come early for a relaxed afternoon by the water, live acoustic music and a beautiful Brisbane sunset. As the evening unfolds, we'll move into the dance floor for a night of Forró with DJs, rhythm and community connection.

🎸 LIVE MUSIC A special live session featuring vocals and acoustic guitar, bringing the intimate sounds of traditional Brazilian roots music.

🪗 FORRÓ PÉ DE SERRA Expect the classic sounds and rhythms of Forró. Two DJs will keep the music flowing with non-stop Forró made for dancing, connecting and moving together.

💃 DANCE FLOOR The dance will take over later in the evening, keeping the Forró flowing until 11pm.

🌅 THE RAIZ EXPERIENCE Come for the music. Stay for the people.

Whether you're already a Forró dancer or you've never danced Forró before, you're welcome. No experience necessary — just come with an open mind and ready to move.
