FORRÓ X-TUDO is a club series dedicated to dance, friends, and the mysterious beauty of life. Each night features live shows with special guests and TRIO MADRUGADA as the house band. Resident DJs JOKAKELI, MELODINHO and MIAU light up the dancefloor with the best forró classics and contemporary favourites. X-TUDO means love in all its forms without any form of discrimination. A warm welcome to everyone!

In May, a highly anticipated special guest takes the stage as the award-winning saxophonist and composer LINDA FREDRIKSSON performs together with TRIO MADRUGADA. Fredriksson’s ever-compelling playing—at times boldly explosive and unrestrained—has become familiar through the vibrant Mopo Trio, the free jazz ensemble Superposition, and Ricky-Tick Big Band. They have also collaborated across genres with Kerkko Koskinen, Pyhimys, Niillas Holmberg, and Ismo Alanko, among others. The praised debut solo album Juniper (2021) earned Fredriksson both the Emma Award and the Teosto Prize.

At this special concert, Brazilian forró classics as well as compositions by MIRKKA KIVILEHTO will be brought to life through Linda’s virtuosic interpretations. An exceptional evening awaits all lovers of forró, jazz, and irresistible groove!

The night kicks off with a joyful forró dance class by Paulo Santochi & Anna Fornasiero (FORRÓ ABRAÇO NORDESTINO).
