Forró dance lesson at 8:30 pm; Show at 9 pm.
Dona Francisca plays forró music as it was invented by the master Luiz Gonzaga, then adds its own twists and spins. The group features two founders of Forró Brazuca: singer and triangle player Paulo Presotto (from São Paulo) and zabumba player and singer Chris Thomas (from Rio), plus accordionist Diana Strong, flutist-singer Rebecca Kleinmann, flutist-percussionist Sonia Caltvedt, and bass guitarist Izzy Weiser. In addition to classic songs by Luis Gonzaga, Dona Francisco plays some originals and covers by Sivuca, Forró in the Dark, and Trio Dona Zef.
