A modern variation of Forró, which uses electronic elements through the inclusion of keyboards, bass and electric guitar.
Though the first bands emerged in the early 1990s, they only became popular early in the next decade. Traditionalists often consider the style tacky and uncultured because it is electronically rendered and downplays the role of the accordion.
Some bands who inaugurated the genre are Mastruz com Leite, Cavalo de Pau and Limão com Mel, who are all heavily influenced by traditional forró.
