== Summary ==

Flávio José is a Brazilian singer and accordionist from Monteiro, Paraíba, closely associated with [[Forró pé-de-serra]] and the living repertoire of [[Traditional Forró]].<ref name="fr-flavio">[https://dicionariompb.com.br/artista/flavio-jose/ Dicionário Cravo Albin: biography and recorded works].</ref>

== Life and career ==

His recording career provides a continuing link between Northeastern dance music, romantic song and newer compositions. He is also an important interpreter of other writers: [[Dorgival Dantas]]'s discography records his performances of 'Paixão Escondida' and 'Casa Velha de Sapê'.<ref name="fr-dorgival">[https://dicionariompb.com.br/artista/dorgival-dantas/ Dicionário Cravo Albin: biography and recorded works].</ref>

== Music and style ==

Accordion-led accompaniment and an expressive singing voice are central to his musical identity. Traditional here describes an approach and repertoire, not a requirement to record only old songs. His work also connects with younger acoustic-[[Forró|forró]] musicians; [[Falamansa]] names his music as an inspiration for a later [[Xote brasileiro|xote]].<ref name="fr-falamansa">[https://dicionariompb.com.br/grupo/falamansa/ Dicionário Cravo Albin: biography and recorded works].</ref>

== Works and performances ==

''Me Diz Amor'' and his interpretations of Dorgival's songs offer useful listening routes. Compare song, singer and songwriter credits: a composition's movement between performers is part of the continuity of the tradition.<ref name="fr-flavio" /><ref name="fr-dorgival" />
