piseiro
what it is
Piseiro is a genre originated in the interior of northeast Brazil in the 2000s, characterized by the combination of electronic keyboards with vocal harmonization, and is typically considered a homemade style of Forró eletrônico. The music is played on a loud speaker, known as paredão, also used in Funk brasileiro bailes and Tecnobrega. Because the interior region is poorer and more sparsely populated, artists have had to make do with limited resources, and as a result the most common and most traditional form of piseiro involves just voice and keyboard.
