The Forróçacana appeared in May 1997, in Rio de Janeiro, within the local scene known as "university forró," as were called the groups from the '90s formed by middle-class members of the Southeastern states, in opposition to the rootsy forró groups of the Northeast composed of members of the working class. Melting the traditional forró pé-de-serra with diverse elements (choro, samba, rock, salsa, reggae, etc.), the group got started in the traditional format, doing five-hour balls with a repertory based in <a href="spotify:artist:2b9ikX6H2LQRvSRks5E8vo">Jackson do Pandeiro</a>'s tunes and other classics of the genre. The originals came later, urged by the desire of establishing an individual identity: "Forró Horizontal," "O Cabra," "Caraíva," "Telepatia no Salão," etc. Forming a considerable audience, they soon were opening for Jorge Benjor, <a href="spotify:artist:10naVTwNjE50daQVrN0bXh">Cássia Eller</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7LunbFWIm3RPQpywjOSSd8">Zeca Baleiro</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4YLBdrR3DVSMncm785NH6C">Lenine</a>, Alceu Valença, <a href="spotify:artist:1mCHLu4gizrN9PwHxKrJv4">Dominguinhos</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1fCdub35SOEgPYVfSrYTI6">Xangai</a>, Pedro Luís e a Parede, Seu Jorge, Alceu Valença, <a href="spotify:artist:4ph6Bt1mkDlmf32PSvRa8A">Elba Ramalho</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7oEkUINVIj1Nr3Wnj8tzqr">Gilberto Gil</a>, and other top artists.
