Berto Hortis - one of my informants and rising star on the forró scene in Recife.
























Camarão at his home in Recife. He recently received the Patrimonio Vivo (Living Patrimony) award from the state of Pernambuco for his many years of contributions to the music here.























Lula do Accordeon at his accordeon repair shop behind his home in Recife. He has an amazing selection of old forró vinyl, some with him or his wife on the covers.










Terezinha do Accordeon, one of my informants that I met at the forró of Arlindo. She has had a long career and has several ongoing projects at the moment, one involving a group of all women.























What a beautiful instrument! Que lindo instrumento!
