The inspiration for mixing classical music and Forró came in Stuttgart, Germany, after seeing the `Forro de Domingo` event. Although the majority of the audience is European, they love classical music, jazz and also love dancing the Forro. From the moment I played a classical theme with Baião rhythm and improvisations it motivated me to record and share this idea. I hope you all enjoy the music and stand up to dance to a Tchaikovsky Forro!
