What started in 2003 as a bunch of guys getting together one night a week at a New York club to dabble in a modern interpretation of forro, a jubilant Brazilian folk dance music, became
Forro in the Dark, an alluring ensemble that has garnered attention from Tom Waits; Beck; and David Byrne, who even recorded with them. Forro brings their sunny, seductive style of indie South American folk to the
Museum of Fine Arts (465 Huntington Avenue, Boston, 617.267.9300) tonight for its
Concerts in the Courtyard series. They’ll appear with Marta Topferova at 7:30 p.m. Consider yourself warned — their peppy music is irresistibly danceable; you can reserve a table in the courtyard for $30 by calling in advance, but you probably won’t need the chair for long. Tickets are $25 ($20 for members and students). Visit
