Os Barões da Pisadinha’s romantic earworm “Tá Rocheda” kickstarted Brazil’s Pisadinha fever. Straddling forró and tecnobrega, this keyboard- and accordion-powered dance phenomenon turned the duo of Rodrigo (vocals) and Felipe Barão (keys) into veritable music royalty at home. Bittersweet farewell anthems are transformed into irrepressible party starters in their hands. In 2020 alone, encounters with sertanejo duo Fernando & Sorocaba (“Amor da Despedida”) and forró star Xand Avião (“Basta Você Me Ligar”) added two huge choruses to a songbook already brimming with massive singalongs.
