July 25 – Forró by Ted Falcon and the Forrozeiros

Forró is a catch-all term for a number of different dance and music genres and styles from rural northeastern Brazil. Originally any music for a dance event with percussion and singing was called forró. The Forrozeiros were formed in 2023 and have performed throughout the Los Angeles area. In 2024, they had a year-long residency at the Harmony Room in Eagle Rock, as well as performing in city festivals in Culver City and West Los Angeles. The group features renown Brazilian musicians Mika Mutti, Clarice Cast, Natalia Spadini and Leo Nobre.

The Brand Library & Art Center is located at 1601 W. Mountain St. in Glendale.
